The choicest garlands would we weave,
In honor Of our patriot dead,
Whose memory in our hearts shall leave
Such balm as loving Mary shed,
With sacred perfume, pure and sweet,
Upon the Savots toil-wOrn feet.
Our gallant sons, our brothers dear.
VINO in our nations darkest hour,
When anxious hearts stood still 10 fear,
As dark the threatening storm clouds lower,
Stood mid the foremost in the band
Whose valor saved our native land.
Though nurtured in his quiet home,
Where love Of God and country blend,
Where blood red waves OF battle foam,
And DER the land their terror send,
In thunder crash aud lightning flame
OF war, each wins hero's name.
And when Rcbelon's highest wave
Dashed fierce against the Keystone State,
As thousands fought their homes to save,
And Lees proud men met there the fate
SO well deserved you find en- then
On Round Tops height these gallant men.
Or Spotsylvania's bloody field
At Rappahsnnock's swollen stream,
Where inch by inch the traitors yield,
And threatening bay nets sternly CLEAN,
As man meets nan in dea lily strife,
Each stakes his honor and his life.
AT vicksburg on the happy day
When Mlssisslppis long bound tide
Uufeltered flowed. on freest way
Down TO the Gulf, or sought to hide
From sultry breath of Summers heat
In shadowy bsyous calm retreat;
Then far from home meath southern skies,
Upon the hard fought fields of blood,
Mid dying groans the banners rise
And fall, rs bourne on crimson flood.
Still on the breez. our flag they fling,
And loug the shouts of victory ring.
Mid leaden hail and battle stain.
Or wounded sore, on lingering cot,
With fever burning heart and brain;
BY tell disesse,-the common lot
How e'er they died, these heroes brave
Each fills an honored soldiers grave.
But since the fearful strife is DER
Across the rift in solid rock,
Which surging waves of conflict wore,
We stretch our hands, nor fear the shock
Will rouse the storm from slumber deep,
If "blue aud gray" together weep
All honor to "our soldier dead"
Who molly fought to save this land
May glory crown each patriot head
Our garlands strewn with pious hand
May wither with returning day,
Their glory ne'er shall fade away
