sNOTHING BUT FLAGS"
A Maine Poem that is Going the Rounds
In the West as Kansas Product.

a The poem entitled "Tho Returned
Maine Battle Flags has been recently
playiarized In the West and published as
written by an old veteran after seeing
the battle flags in the State House at
Topeka, Kansas The poem, which 10
printed in large type and hangs above
the flags in the State House, is as fol-
lows:
Nothing but fiags-but simple flags,
Tattered and torn and hanging in rags
AMI we walk beneath them with careless
tread
Nor think of the mighty dead,
That have marched beneath them in days
gone by,
With burning cheek and a kindling eye,
And have 5athed their fields with their
young LIES tide,
And diving BLESSED them, and blessing
died.
Nothing but fiaes-yet. methinks, at
They tell leach other their talos Of fright;
And dim spectres come, and then their
arms Irvine,
Round each standard torn-as they stand
in line.
AS the word is given they charge, they
And shs dim hall rings with the BATTLES
And once again through the BATTLES
strife,
Those colors lead to q Nations life.
Nothing but fags-yet they're bathed
with tears,
They tell of triumphs-of hopes-of fears,
OF a mothers prayers-of q boy away;
OF a serpent crushed-of the coming day |;
Silent they speak-and the tear will start,
As we stand beneath them with throb1
bling heart,
And think of those who are me- 81 forgot,
Their fia gs come home-why come they
notf
Nothing but dags-yet we Loid our
breath.
And gazs with awe at those types OF
death;
Nothing but flags yet the thought will
come,
The heart must pray though the lips be
dumb,
They are sacred, pure. and We can ace no
On those dear loved flags come home
again;
Baptized in blood, our purest. best.
Tattered and torn, they're now at rest.
