MY HERO.

They gave our proud Flag to the winds,
The Flag as free rs they
And meath its bright folds, pledged to Truth
Their kiugly souls, that day.
And loving faces paled with dread,
And sweet eyes dimmed with Jain -
When ocr dear Flag came back a lin,
Would those brave hearts lie dead
Ny heart stood still with solemn joy;
Aa awful, sweet content,
As If my spirit took from God
His holy sacrament.
o, fast clasped my darling's hand,
Too proud for grief, that day;
Because nay Hero went away
To battle for our land
He ,hdcd me In loving tones'
tFhere, sob With falterng breath
Thou hast no sorrow though go
To the red iell Of death -
"I're nothing now but love for thee
Ny tpars shall fall like rAln,"
| said. "Then thou art h Jme again,
And our dear Flag is free
blest him softly ia my h "'ri,
As the loag months wore by,
ana though lhS WOflu gre y uATk 10 iAe,
l would not mourn sigh.
But, day by day, most fAit fully,
prayed through sun au rain:
"Sweet Christ, send home our Flag again
And bring my love to me! !'
Then came the fight at Gettysburg;
Ny heart was drunk with woe,
listened to the mournful tale,
Too sick to care or know
I knew that ere the fight was o'er
My soldier boy was slain
Oar dear Flag may come back again,
Bat my true love, no morcl
And so, before the morning broke,
Ny blessed dream is done
Yet wei, if through sach cruel loss,
Our liberty be won.
\ And sull pray, mcst faithfully,
Throngh loneliness and pain,
"Sweet Christ. send home our Flag again
Aud keep my love for me-" EVA.
