 Comes the line sdown the street: But the heads are bowed and silvered And but feeble are the feet Feet that marched to battle music In the days of long ago; Heads SO proudly held. and brnvely, Fer time silvered them with snow. Brave old hearts now beating sadly. Slow feet faltering as they go, Grey heads bowed with sweet, sad
 memories
 Of the days long ago; or the comrades who went with them, Where the music led the way: Bittersweet to every veteran.
 Are the memories of this day Brave old men. we bow before them, Marching to the city white, With their flowers and their gRrlands Surely, 'tis gracious sight. Proud are we that we have knownt them, Fer the last old veteran tr Ie, Steps his last to martial music,
