The Loyal Dead.
BIZ FRANK BENJAMIN.

The loyal dead-who sleep the sleep that know,
No morrow's awakening from its repose
The loyal dead-alasl how thick they lie
On that dear soil, for which twas sweet to die.
Proud. confident they marched in bright array,
Glorious in youth, until that fatal day
That fatal day-whose terrors none can tell.
On which they fought, and bravely fighting fell
Fell with those cheeks, whereon health's ruddy
glow
Blushed like rose. more palid than the snow;
Fell with those limbs that were formed with
grace,
Wounded and torn, and left with scarce trace
of that rare strength, that spirit which inspired,
And every step with patriot ardor fired.
Oh God to think those slaughtered sons were
| ours
In our domestic gardens reared like flowers:
That there they grew throughout their infan
years.
Tended and nurtured by maternal tears
We could not bear that any passing gale
Too roughly should their tender forms assail;
We kept them guarded till the hour they left
Us and their homes, so anxious, SO bereft-
Till, with full, breaking hearts we bade them 60
For Unions holy rights to strike blow.
We kept them warmly from the wiud and cold
Lambs of our flock. within closest fold
And now they perish, utterly forlorn,
Far from the happy spot where they were born,
Like those who sink upon a deserts sands,
Unaided save by hard, IMPLYING hands.
Perhaps unburied, save in one dark crowd,
Without knell, coffin or shroud
Unalded, unburied-not unsungl
They soar the immortals of the Past among,
The loved of God, the praised of men, they rise
Angelic and illustrious to the skies,
Historians, painters. and the skilled in song
To distant days their virtues shall prolong-
And children's children in future age
Shall view Ieir martial exploits on the stage
And on the columns of their temples read
Of many brilliant act and daring deed.
What time the Great Rebellion spread its fame
And burned awhile horror and shame,
Till its mad leaders sheathed at length the sword,
And peace prevailed, and the Union was restored.
But the pure glory of our perished sons,
Our precious longed for, prayed-for cherished
ones
Although it tighten may our heavy cross.
Cannot console us wholly for their loss. -
The truest consolation and the best,
That they have entered early into rest,
Gone to their night just as the day began,
Died ere they lived one half their natural span,
Is that the banner whose resplendant fold
Alike waves wide above the young and old,
Was and shall be without one star the less,
In triumph borne to reunite and bless
These mighty stars from farthest sea to sea,
With every man, whate'er his color, free!
Oh, murdered offspring we can spare your lives
If only Liberty your loss survives,
If from your wounds and from your bloody graves
There springs Emancipation for the slaves.
And praised be God to this do all things tend
Cause of the War, twill surely be its end.
