/" Cover Them Orer.n

Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with gArl'ndE, those brothers Of
ours,
Lying so silent, by night and by day, ..
Sleeping the years Of their manhood away.
Years they had marked for tho Joys Of the
brave; .a
Years they mustw In tho moldcrirg grave.
All the bright laurels they waited to bloom
Foil from their hopes when they fell to the
tomb. E -s. MS.
Give them the meod they have won In the past;
Give them the honors their future forecast; =
Give them the chaple!s they won In the strife,
Give them the laurels they lest with their llio.
Cover, them over-yes, eovct them oytr-
Parent, husbAnd, brother and lover
Grown in your hearts those dead heroes OF
- ours
Aai coYcr them over with beautiful flowers.
Cover the faces that motlonlcss lie,
shu. from the blue Of the glorious sky, ~.
Faces orce decked with tho smiles OF the gay,
Faces now marked with tho frown OF decay;
