monument for the soldier!
And what will ye build it of?
Can We build it of marble, or brass or bronze,
Outlasting the soldiers love?
Can We glorify it with legends
As grand as their blood hath writ
From the inmos shrine of this land of thine
To the utmost verge oft?
And the answer came: We would build it
Out of our hopes made sure,
And out of our purest prayers and tears,
And out of our faith secure:
We would build it out of the great white
truths
Their death hath sanctified,
And the sculptured forms of the men in arms,
And their faces ere they died.
And what heroic figures
Can the sculptor carve in store?
Can the marble breast be made to bleed
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered?
And the the marble eyes be graVed
To look their last as the flag floats past,
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came: The figures
Shall all be fair and brave.
And, as BETTING, as pure and white
As the stars above their grave
The marble lips and breast and brow
Whereon the laurel lies,
Bequeath us right to guard the fight
OF the old flag in the skies.
A monument for the soldiers
Built of peoples love,
And blazoned and decked and panoplied
With the hearts ye built it of!
And see that ye bui d it stately,
In pillar and niche and gate,
And high in pose as the souls of those
1t would commemorate
