o, fiercely fought he in the wars!
His courage Oft was noted,
And three times he for gallantry
Was honored and promoted.
Where bullets few as thick as feas,
And almost as annoying,
Well to the front lie bore the brunt
When death with men was toying.
The shrek of shells no terror brought,
Though comrades fast were falling,
He stood alone In trenches s.rown
With carnage most appalling.
He smiled on death with seornfuI smile,
Aud fear and he were strangers;
when blood flowed free he laughed IN glee,
Found food for mirth In dangers.
Yet now his noble courage fails
His heart Is near to stopping
