HE SOLDIERS OF LIE SUN.


Along the margin OF the world
They march with their bright banner
furled
Until, In line OF battle drawn,
They reach the boundaries OF dawn.
They cross the seas and rivers deem
They climb the mountains high aud steep,
And hurry on until in sight
or their black euemy-the night
Then madly rush into the fray
These armies OF the night and day,
Swiftly the shining arrows so,
While hugling winds their WARNINGS blow.
Strive as he will. the night is pressed
Farther and farther down the west
With golden spear and cleaning lance
The cohorts OF the day advance.
Thus, daily, is the battle won
by the brave soldiers Of the sun.
