MID the never ceasing commerce OF the ousy empire
STATE
with the eountrys love ana honor on eaon oraVe' ue
Ia hand of nohle beroes.-is our Army Of the Dead
On the lakeencircled homestead OF the thriving vol
VERNE,
On the beauteous Western prairies, with their carpet
ing Of green,
By the sweeping Mississippi long our countrys pride
and boast,
On ne rugged Rocky Mountains, and the wlerd Pacific
coast,
In the stless sunny Southland, with It's blossoms and
its vines,
On the bracing Northern hll-tops. and amid their
muring pines,
over all our happy countryover all our nation spread
Is band Of noble heroes-is our Army of the Dead
Not with musket and with saber and with glad heart
beating fast;
Not with cannon that had Numbered till the bloody
Not with voices that are shouting with the vim Of vic
tory,s note
Not with armor gaiy glisteniug, aud with flags that
proudly float;
Not with air of martial yigor not with steady soldier
tramp,
Come they srandly marching to u.s. for the boys are
all In camp
With forgetfulnoss upon teach within his earthly
bed
Waiting for his marching orders-s our Army Of the
Dead.
Fast asleep the boys are lying in their low and mar
row tents,
And no battlecry can waEs them and no orders call
them thence;
And the yearning Of the mother, and the anguish Of
the wife,
Cannot with their magic presence call the soldier bac
to life;
And the brothers manly sorrow, and the father 5
mournful pride,
Cannot give back to his country him who for his
try died;
They who for the trembling nation in its hour Of trial
bled,
Lie in these its years of triumph with Army of the
Dead.
But upon tie growing future and the strange, went
full past,
Our young martyrs now in sumber have a mighty in
huence cast.
But for them and for their couragebut for them and
for their palE-
The great bands that hold our Union would oroer be
rent in twain,
And the tyrant mock the darkness Of tho patriots
hopeless night,
While the brightest star of Freedom sank frevermore
HoW ssht'
And the greatness OF our heroes shall In future days
DO read
And historians tell the praises OF our Army OF the
Dead
hi'torys pen shall tell the Story ana It's srandest
