The Patriots Grave.

(By Cyrene E. Morris, Co. G, Sd Mo. Cav.
Coon Rapids, Iowa)
Plant three feet of Eastwood slab at his
head,
And gouge on 1t Private McGill;
Another of 'Sherman's Bummers" is
dead;
A relic of Andersonville.
Wounded and starving, with Other
brave men,
He was true to our country's flag.
And refused release from that hellish
pen
II he'd fight for the traitors rag.
1t shall not appear as future blot
We begrudged him any expense;
Wen give him a space in the paupeI
lot,
Where the wild vines trail DER the
fence.
And once every year we'll cheap BIOS
SONS bring
For this veteran who wore the blue,
And over his grave dirge We'll sing,
And on it the wild blossoms strew.
few years,
For we knew he was growing old;
We gave him our sympathy, prayers
and tears
And two dollars monthly in gold.
It's no fault of ours that his children
and wife
Appear on the almshouse report;
Nor are we to blame that his wasted
life
Left nothing for their support.
We thought we'd give, when ne passed
sixty-two,
Eight dollars a month-"wealth ga
lore;''
This liberal sum with what she could
do
Would have kept the wolf from the
door,
There were others. you know. who needs
must live,
Strong men, holding Government
place,
And the bonds we paid left little to give
To paupers used up in that race.
Well point with pride to the record he
made,
Relate how he fought, and we won!
How at last for grateful land he died.

IHOuHS8SVIUSs
For harvest yield of mart and field,
Rich tribute at Thy feet we lay.
God of our fathers, who revealed
The Faith that crowns US here to-.
day;
God of our land whose flag unroll'd,
Waves in it's freedom fold on fold!
For guidance thro', when tempest
From mountain heights af!ame,
Ger madden'd seas of heaving blue
And vengeful paths of shame.
God Of our race and sheathed sword.
Thine be the praise for the fruitage
stored!
Our ships hold fast, in the biting blast,
Close reefed by the danger line.
Our flag agleam, at the bending mast
Every star on it's field a-shine
God of our armored ships, TO Thee
We cry our need from the sullen sea:
For Thy mercies deep, as we SOW and
An anthem of things we raise.
From fort and tower, where Our SEN
tries keep
Keen watch DER the widening bays
God of our land, that Thy Hand made
free
The nations heart is a-thrill for Thee!
For help that stayed, impending blade
The voice of hatred stilled.
For every bloom that decked the glade
For bird song sweetly thrilled.
God of our land, from our towers OF
steel,
Our thanks speak loud in the cannon's
peal!
Time merged in dust the Romans lust
And shook Ninevahs throne;
And Carthage lies, the moldering rust
Where arch and column shone!
God Of our land, our weakness see,
And lead us Alright if we stray from
Thee!
Lead the nations might, in the war for
Right,
A Nestor no King may dare!
Roll back the gloom of the Stygia,
night,
Give peace to the heart of care!
God of our land that the seas giro
fast,
BE with us still. as Thou ever mast!
