William Cullen Bryant and in his Ode to the
Battlefield he says:
Yea, though they lie upon the dust
When they who helped them not to
flee
Died full Of hope and manly trust.
Like those who fell in battle have,
Another hand the sword will WELD.
Another hand the flag will wave
Until from trump et-mouth is peaed
The blast of triumph Ger the grave.
"And so those that labor for what they believe
to be just if they die before the victory comes,
they die in the confident faith that the victory will
yet come, and that its bugle blast will sound above
their resting places" cloud and prolonged ap.
plause.)
The Lord Mayor then introduced his guests one
b. to Mr.. Bryan, at the latter's request. andi
soon after the proceedings came to an end.
