Now. that the war is over travelling
r,or suggests that the following lines
are appropriately penned' .v
ONE BENEATH OLD GLORY.
Don't YOU hear the tramp OF soldiers'
Dent YOU hear the bugles play!
Don't YOU see the muskets flashing
In the sunlight far away?
Don't you feel the ground all 'rempiihs
Meath the tread of many feetl
They are coming, tens OF thousanus'
To the army and the heeI
They are Yankees, they are Johnnies
They're for North and South no more;
Ghey are one, and glad to follow
when Old Glory goes before.
From Atlantic TO Pacific,
From the Pine Tree to Lone star,
They are gath'ring round Old Glory
And they're marching 10 tho war.
Don't you see the harbors guarded
BY those bristling dogs OF war;
Don't YOU hear them growing, barking,
At the fleet beyond the barr
Don't YOU hear the Jack Tars cheering,
Brave as sailor lads can be-
Don't you see the water boiling,
Where the squadron put TO sea?
Don't you hear the horses prancingF
Don't YOU hear the sabres ciashF
Don't you hear the cannon roaring
Don't you hear the rnuskets crashY
Don't Won smell the smoke of battle?
Oh. you'll wish that you had gone
Wien YOU hear the shouts and cheering
For the boys who whipped the DOM
Tberen be Yankees, therell be Johnnies,
rherell be North and South no more,
| When the boys come marching homeWard
With Old Glory borne before.
| From Atlantic TO Pacific
From the Pine Tree to Lone Star,
They'll be one beneath Old Glory
After coming from the war.
