Unconscious, too, lle died

There is lonely home;
A mother there, is waiting for
a boy who'll never come

For The Eagle:
YE DRUMMER.
Who is it, that our commerce sways,
Who has such polished. pleasant ways;
Who is it. gets the earth, always,
Ye Drummer.
Who does the world politely greet,
Who's clothes are always nobby, neat;
Who keeps an eye out for the sweet,
Fair ladies.
Who risks his lie in folding beds,
And meets the patron whom he breads,
Some morning when he has TWO heads.
The drummer.
Whoe sees above the curling wreath,
OF smoke he sits entombed beneath,
The face he loves IN life or death,
Ono woman.
Who knows how lonely he can be,
When tones are highest. jests are free;
Who does not let the public see
His heartdche.
When weighed upon a balance fair,
Enough of good or bad is there;
But of the good, the greater share.

Fer The Eagle:

For The Eagle:
LIFE
This life is but a game of chance,
OF which we get a very small glance;
Some make the race with ease and grace
While others get but second place.
And when the race is finally run.
But few can show the good they've done
Some attain pinnacle grand
While others in the mire stand.
Its very difficult 10 understand
Why some progress while others strand;
With equal chances TO begin.
How many lost, how few win.
