And all mankftd his calls obey, "
He spares not youth, nor honored age,
The pratuang child, or hoary sage,
Not titled weahh, .nor high renown,
No wearer OF aglitterins crown,
Can stay his hand, prolong the hour,
On ceaseless time, relentless power.
And thus another year hath fled,
Gone numbered with the countless dead,
That strew the hills and valleys wide
With those who for their country died.
Gone with its terrible array
or bloody confiic Is, when the day
With sulphurous smoke, was turned to night,
When Freedoms sons for truth and right
-Unbared their bosams to the fee--
And laid the naughty rebel low
While far above the feeble cry
