For what we have received. God,

Our tide of fortune was at food;
We were content to live for gains;

But tamely tinctured in cur veins.
Thou sawest, and didst lift thy rod;
Stern was thy face.
For what we have received. God,
We give thee grace!
For what We have received, o Lord,
We offer thanks,
Such soul of pity Tor thine own,
Suffering than only death,
As made the heart in us to eroan
As groaneth one who travaileth.
Not peace thou gavest. but a sword
To us, thy ranks.

Our common love of flag and sod,

For what we have received. God,
We give thee grace!
For what we have received o Lord.

Thy meat OF mercy and thy cup
OF bitter weeping for our slain,
Whereby may be lifted M,
And not cast down nor broke in twain;

The Grave of Hope.

"There's wild little gnome in the wood
Who sings he digs grave.
OF Hope that scars and Hope that flies
And Hope that singes her wings and lies
In peace where the willows wave.
"And he croons in the pauses of toll,
shyering song of Pears
The lean black shades OF Hope so fair
Who weave her nets with her golden hair
And harry her down the years.
'And he knows she will perish at last:
He has carved her name the stone,
While the trees draw near and forget to sleep,
And the little leaves bend their heads and weer
For Hope that must die alone

sueh Is the Death the Soldier Dies.

Such is the death the soldier dies
He ialls-the column speeds away;
Upon the dabbled grass he lies,
His brave heart following still the fray.
The smoke wraiths drift among the trees,
The battle storms along the hill;
The CLINT of distant arms he sees,
He hears his comrades shouting still.
A glimpse of far-borne flags. that fade
And vanish in the rolling din;
lie knows the sweeping charge is made,
The cheering lines closing in.
Unmindful of his mortal wound,
He family calls, and seeks TO rise,
But weakness drags him to the ground
Such is the death the soldier dies.
