We put him to bed in his little nightgown,
The worst battered youngster there in. the

Yet he said MS he opened his only well eye,
'Rah, 'rah for the jolly old Fourth of JULY

tied up,
On his head was n bump like AN upside down

And his s,9ile was distorted, his nose all awry.

And all day had lived in the powder and fun;
While the boom'of the cannon roared up to the

AS we plastered and bound them with tenderest
care.
But out of the wreck came the words, with a
sigh,
.'If tomorrow was only the Fourth of July!'
He will draw altogether agaln, never fear,
And be ready to celebrate freedom next year:
Meanwhile all his friends are most thankful
there lies,
A crackerless twelvemonth 'twixt Fourth of
Julys.
We kissed him good night on his ispowder specked
face,
We laid his bruised hands softly down in their
place,
And he murmured. as sleep closed his one open
eye.
