Will any reader of The TRIBUNE tell me for whom
the following lines were written In memory OF
OUR HERO.
Our hero was born in the month
What matter, December or Juuep
The warriors path 10 glory
Is never with roses strewn.
Foremost in deeds of valor,
Many plaudid he won:
Against his name be il written
In bravery never outdone."
Twice in foreign country
Distinction and fame he achieved,
And the Cross of the Legion of Honor
From Napoleon's hand received.
The idol of many a soldier,
The hero Of many fray,
His summons came at the closing
OF n bright SeptemberS day.
With the thunder of battle around him,
And the thunder of heaven o head,
The cuemys bullet found him
As to victory onward he led.
France honored we'll her hero
The noble. the gallant, the brave;
What palm had America for him,
Who died his country to save?
OH choose from your garlanded blossoms
The brightest the sweetest, the best,
That the Cross of the Legion of Honor
This day on his grave may rest.
