I'm sitting III my brush room
The shades Of night have cast gloom,
Der my thoughts rs back they stray,
To by gone scenes in pleasant Iowa.
Why am ! sad, and lonely here,
Why of,cn falls, the silent tear,
Why do long at close Of day,
To be again in Iowa?
Oh my parents dear are there,
Their looks are white with time Il care,
They think of me Wills: far away.
Aud wish me back in Iowa.
Brothers and Sisters happy band,
All all are there in that fair land,
Whilst | soldier, am far away,
From my beloved home III Iowa.
Kind friends ore with me even here,
Their loving words my spirit cheer
Greatfnl own thir gentle way.
But Oh for friends in Iowa.

With theirs my head in prayer l raise,
But Oh l long once more to stay,
With my dear friends in Iowa.

"A Soldiers Prayer.
Published by request.
Great God in this dread bour,
When clouds and darkness lower
Ger all the land
We fain would look to thee,
God of the bond and free,
And humbly bow the knee g.I
AT they command.
We call npon Thy name,
And own with guilt and shame,
Our conn,ry's wrong;
The land is filled with fraud,
Oppression stalks abroad,
And freedoms foes nnarmed
It's reign prolong.
Shield Freedoms glorious form,
Still lingering in the storm,
y From every foe;
Grant to our "lsulcrs' light,
Nerve freeman for the fight,
We pray God speed the right
Where ever We go.
Bid earth's down Il odden rise,
In Mercy hear their cries,
They look TO Thee.
O! grant our land to save,
Land Of the Free and brave,
May Freedoms banner wave,
From sea TO sea.
Bid wars fierce tempest cease,
Grant to our nation peace,
Great God our King;
Then from the dis,an, mair,
From every hill and plain,
Where peace and plenty 'e'gn,
Thy praise shall ring
