the Union was at stake.
Some are sleeping in the Southland meath

the land of slavery.
Some are sleeping in Virginia. meath the
Old Dominion's sod:
In the thickets of the battle they were
called TO meet their God.
Some found graves in Pennsylvania. fight
ing under Meade they fell,
Crushing back the dread invasion, fighting
fierce and fighting well.
All the land is dotted over with the graves
of boys in blue,
Brave defenders of the Union, those who
fought its battles through.
Some still live to tell the story, how the
Unions cause was won.
But their ranks are growing thinner eve,v
rising of the sun.
Many finish life on cruiches, many siVhtless,
armless, deaf,
Broken health, weak constitutions; these
are scars their wounds have left.
All, the sacrifices rendered, God alone can
estimate;
No memorial we can offer can repay or
compensate.
Soon the last surviving hero. bearing up
nations love,
Will have joined the Great Commander in
the heavenly camp above.
Who will decorate these graves then Who
will place the laurel wreath
On the sod above the noble hero sleeping
there beneath ?
we, this younger generation, we must soon
these graves attend;
We IL is on whom this duty, no. this honor
will descend.
Let US to-day sustain the soldier, he's near
the end of life's long race,
Help him bear his loving tribute to his
comrades resting place;
Then when he has joined his comrades,
the journey DER, life's battle through.
Let us each year deck with blossoms, the
graves OF those who wore the blue.
