THE EMPTY SLEEVE.
By the moons pale light. to this gain

BY the moons pale light, to this gazing
throng,
Let me tell one tale, let me sing one song
IT'S a tale devoid of aim or plan,
Ills simple song of a one armed man;
TIL this very hour, could ne'er believe
What tell tale thing is an empty sleeve
what aweird, queer thing is an empty sleeve.
1t tells in silent tone to all
OF country's need and a country's call,
OF a kiss and a tear for child and wife,
And hurried march for nations life;
TIL this very hour, would you e'er believe
What tell tale thing is an empty sleeve
What weird, queer thing is an empty sleeve?
1t tells of a battle field of gore,
Or the saber's clash, of the cannon's roar,
or the deadly charge, of the bugle's note,
Of a gurgling sound in foeman's throat,
OF the whizzing grape, of the fiery shell,
or scene which mimics the scenes of hell
Till this very hour, who could e'er believe
What tell tale thing is an empty sleeve
What weird, queer thing is an empty sleeve?
Though 1t points to myriad of wounds and
scars,
Yet it tells that flag, with the stripes and
stars,
In Gods own chosen time will take
Each place of the rag with the rattlesnake,
And 1t points to a time when that flag will
wave
Der land where there breathes no COVER
ing slave;
To the top of the skies let us all then heave
one proud hurrah for the empty sleeve!
For the One-armed man with the empty
sleeve.
