Some or the Minnesota boys were inspired
by the poetic muse while at Honolulu, as
result OF which several of their productions
appeared in the local press. Following is a
verse Of the "Soldlers' Farewell" written bv
Martin ID. Tew. Of Company F.:
Farewell dear Columbia, thy shores we are
And light hearts grow sad as thy hills fade
from view.
we KNOW that at nome many dear hearts arc
grieving
And trembling lips murmur a loving adieu.
Let bright angels whisper in words low and
tender
And tell dearest mother that all will be
May spirits of grace ever guard and defend
her.
Are the last fervent words of each soldiers
farewell.
Rev. G. A. Cressy, chaplain of the regiment
arranged new words to the tune Of Marching
Through Georgia"
Fill your bugles up with song
My Minnesota boys;
Wei! gather around the camp fire
And We'll make little noise.
Well sing song together
To intensity our joys,
For we are going to Manila.
Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah Well make jubilee;
Hurrah! Tor Minnesota and our country great
and free.
For we are marching to Manila
Here's health to all the pretty girls
We've left so far behind
And dear old Minnesota,
That is never out of mind;
And when the war is over
What welcome we shall find
When we get home from Manila.
The paper also prints several letters from
Col. c.. McC Reeve thanking the citizens of
Honolulu for the cordial reception extended
the troops.
