From grave to grave they roamed in Ar

the city, pausing here, stopping there,
bridging In their thoughts the vanished
years, marching again to victory or de-

guns to the rattle and roar of infantry

charge, facing flashing flame and belch-

graves of their best-beloved, arranging the
blossoms they had brought with tender,

the shadow of memory did not darken the

fully, with pride In their ancestry and
gratitude for their heritage.
But it was to the graves In Arlington
