 time,
 To Honor Robert Edward Lees Me-
 morial Day,
 A hero whose life was sublime
 And every man that wore the gray. When your march began 1t was morn
 ing,
 Ana your nedTlS anu lSSS "SAS Afo'AS' The flags were all afiutter
 And your spirits gay and bright. When the bugle led the column,
 And the drums beat proud in the van, It was easy to march to the music
 And keep step, shoulder and shoulder
 to man.
 As the sun in the Heavens marked the
 zenith of day,
 And the armies of life stretched out
 in battle array.
 Bravely you fought in the conflict as
 bullets flew thick and fast, You rejoiced over victory won, and
 grieved over defeat, long past. Your lives are as the sunsets rays,
 And the autumn of trees in their gold, A well spent march has marked your
 days,
 And your ranks are now few and old. The Master has promised for every
 cross,
 There is prepared a crown of love, So we Daughters, today, have brought
 you this cross
 To hand to the Master above.
