REUNION.

Oh the racket oh The claiieTi
Oh, the swell Of 6fe and drum.
Aud the shouting Of the thousands
Mid the city 5 ~oeaseless hum;
Oh, the grandeur, Oh. the glory
As the veterans march by
With The Lost Cause banner
waving;
Honored-never yet dishonored-
Showing bright against the skyl
II is well-this shout Of triumph
For a triumph it must be
That held out so long and brayely
With no aid on land or sea.
Yes to-day must be remembered
Swell the pean, let it ring
We were never, never conquered
Is the song we justly sing.
But away my spirit wanders
To a lonely cabin door,
There l see an aged widow
There | view her scauty store;
She is feebly toiling daily
Thankful still to earn her bread,
While her heart waits for reunion
With the unreturning dead.
Long ago her soldier lover
Left her side, in hope to go,
Saying eyes. well gain the contest
Let the wind blow high or low.
She is thinking of the twilight
When her wounded lover came
And she gave her life's young vigor
To sustain his broken frame.
No he lies in grassy graveyard,
Still the bullet in his breast,
She alone is left to mourn him
But she says God knoweth best.
OF the clatter and the glitter
OF the distant fife and drum
She has never heard nor listened
To the city's mighty hum;
But 1 think as ! am gazing
On this widow old and poor
Sitting silent in the twilight
At her lonely cabin door
That perhaps her hero husband
his voice could now be heard,
Would arouse the hearts to action
By the noblest impulse stirred,
Would rouse the hearts to thinking
That perhaps the soldiers bed
Cannot be as Heaven intended
While his widow tolls for bread
