Garlands For All.
But while we honor the soldier let us,
not forget our other dead who fell beside
us in the peaceful battle Of life. Go
mother, and lay the lilac and the daisy
on that spot in "God's acre" wherai
You planted the little curly headed
treasure that shall come up and bloom
In the springtime of eternity. Go, wild
ow. and hang the green garland Of ivy
on the cold tablet that, like specter,
beckons you TO follow your beloved.
Stop. child, amid your play, gather a
handful Of blue eyed violets and let
their modest lips kiss the nodding
grasses that cover her whose bitterest
pang at death was the thought of leav-
ing you. Go, lover, let the red tulip
blush above the upturned face Of her
whose budding beauty was chilled un-
timely by the frosts OF death.-Chicago
