japanese Minister to the treaty which
the President has made with Hawaii.

her protest to the extent of war, in

and the poor apologies for humanity

Through widning ranks OF grassy tents
Where rest our comrade dead.
With us they set the battle.
Undaunted In the place
Where midst the shrek of shot and shel
Death met us face to face.
None but the God above us
Knew who should yield his soul
For freedoms cause, or who again
Might hear the muster-roll
And thus some died as martyrs.
Some after wars surcease
Were gathered to the higher ranks.
In times of blessed peace.

We strew with memory's dew of tears,
Across each comrades breast.

To Gods great bivouac field,
But never will be wanting hearts
Their need Of love to yield.

His life-blood red and true.
