THE SOLDIER SLEEPS

BY lowland or by highland,
Where'er he served. his day
Was fall of stern endeaNor, and
He earned soldiers pay.
Hard marches, meager rations.
Short nights and stinted rest;
Death babe him ground his arms, ana
He slumbers with the best.
In some np-country churchyard.
Where loving fingers keep
The moses from his graSe-stone,
& His dreamless peace Is deep;
Where serried ranks are waiting
10 hear the reyeille,
He lies beneath his ceuntry's flag.
In goodly company.
.Afar from home. they've followed
a marrow house for him,
Where feathery palms are waving
green
And jungle swamps are dim.
For him no more they matter,
The tropic storms and Gains.
So hushed he lies, 50 sound he sleeps.
b Beneath the SXaying palms.
His little children, pausing
In midst of happy play.
Are proud of father. that he rests
BY great Manila Bay.
Too young to feel the heartache,
Too small the care to know,
They thrill with pleasure that he met
| Ane, dared the swarming foe.

One loyal woman standing,
Her hand against her breast
AS If to clutch and tear its pain.
In agony repressed,
Sees naught of fame and glory.
Hears raught of bugle,s breath;
She only knows her soldier sleeps
| The cold. still sleep Of death.
! BY lowland and by highland,
Where'er he served, his day
1 Was full of stern endurance, and
/ He earned soldiers pay.
\ Dear flag that droops above him.
For you he paid the price.
Nor counted dear its utmost drop,
Fed blood Of sacrifice.
