A peace that's calm and holy now invests
the battled hill.
And where the steel tipp'd legions fought
the multitudes are still;
Columbia lays her fairest wreaths upon
her dearest shrine,
And eloQuence is heard where sleep the
heroes of the line,
For a Nation stands uncovered in the
sunshine and the shade,
And Summer sheds her blossoms where the
soldiers couch is made.
No more along the rivers stand the mar
shaled sons of Mars,
No longer CLEAN the bivouac fires beneath
the watchful stars;
The bluebird wooes his sweetheart whers
the cannons Numbered forth,
Where marched the men of Southland
'gainst the gallants of the North;
The kiss of love has blotted out the blood
upon the sword,
And boodless are the ripples of the we'll
contested ford;
And not a star is missing in the Banner
of the Free
That waves with pride and beauty on tho
land and on the sea.
They sleep beneath the blossoms in the
homeland of the pine,
They camp where seeks the southern bee
the nectar of the vine;
They hear no more the bug'a blast 80 pier
cling and so shrill,
No more they charge the grim redoubt, no
more they take the hill;
But meath the lily's robes of. white and
meath the blood-red rose
Together sleep the men who once in bat
tie met as foes;
No more the challenge shakes the air, no
more the battle YELL
But where they stood an angel stands and
whispers: "All Is well!"
I look adown the village street, with mar
tial step and slow.
With tributes of Mays sweetest bloom I
see the columns go;
They're not the same that long ago with
youthful ardor stood
On Round Tops red and rocky crest, in
Chickamauga's wood;
IT'S but the marching remnant of the
phalanxes Of old
That fought beneath Old Glorys stars and
loved each sacred fold;
To-day they crown their comrades with
the ,laurel-invested wreath.
And stand in memory again upon the
fields Of death.
The hero lives forever, and again this
sacred day
Columbia comes with stately tread her
sweetest debt to pay:
She knows no missing soldier boys, no
Deep in the darkened thicket's heart, or
meath the surging sea;
Her hands are full of flowers and her
heart with love o'erlows,
And, standing by her loyal dead, she knows
no hate nor foes;
For meath the fairest flag that floats to-
day before the sun
She thinks of blood that mingles meath the
grass of Arlington.
IT'S Ger! l see the columns wheel and
back again they come,
Our lovely banner spreads Its folds before
the eager drum,
The wreath of love is lying where it fell
from gentle hand
And not q hero has been missed in all this
grateful land;
Meath the laurel and the cedar. meath the
roses white and red,
sleep on the Nations dead;
And till time is no longer. once a year our
land Will strew
Her blessed and bcauteous blossoms on
the dead who sleep in blue,
