Our Dead Heroes.

Sway gently, we pines of the forest,
In the warmth of the sunny air,
Bend low DER the green earth be-
meath you,
The<loved, of a country, lie there.
In the, mist Of the fragrant stiffness,
Where the shadowy willows weep;
And hushed are the voices of Nature,
There guarded in glory they sleep.
Awaken, we flowers of Spring-time.
Come forth. in your beauty and tell
The story, the Southland holds sacred,
How many a brave soldier fell;
Bede1h in your splendor the meadows,
Where gayly, the hooking bird trills
In the peace of the golden sunlight
That rests on the far distant hills
Flow softly. We streams from the
mountain,
To the fiowery vale below,
For burst, are the letters that bound
And passed. are the bleak months
of snow:
And now, in your ripping language
To the trees. that shadow your way,
Still whisper, of those gallant soldiers,
Who battled and died for the Gray.
Sing blithely, ye birds for It's May
And earth. in the fresh sunIight's
sheen.
Has laid, on the graves of her heroes
mantle of fair living green;
So let your sweet songs, of the valor
We honor. be borne on the breeze
To those, who have crossed DER the
river
And rest meath the shade of the
trees"
