The Brave Briaades.

and the golden dream
Away. away in the morning-good-hy at
the little gate.
Where love shall stand till evenude with
roses of love TO wait;
Over the hills Of morning, down to the
streets that roar.
The brave brigades of the daily life from
valleys Of resting pour!
Away. away in the morning, and BACK IN
the star-sweet gloom,
With lips to the lips of love that wait
under the gates Of bloom;
The brave brigades Of the toiling, the
steady and tried and true
Good night to you and the little eyes that
glimmer with love for you!
