Remember Them.


Remember them-those who have crossed
the line,
Haltcd-and given the countersign.
Brave men and true sleep on-your race
is run,
The battle fought-the victory won.
The old flag is still floating overhead.
Silently guarding our patriot dead.
Remember them-the nameless who sleep
Where the pine and cypress their vigiis
keep.
On mountain side or in lonely dell.
Keep green the memory OF those WI"
fell.
Ger hill and dale the orioles call
Is sounding requiem over all.
Remember them alive owe them much
Blessed the flowers the loving ones
touch.
Over the river where angels wait.
Is canned an army at sunsets gate.
Eatk' hear the bugle's last call ring.
And LO. The sunset gates wide opel.
