Memorial Day "a Thompson

He hath risen al the reveille, to greet the flushing morn, And hath girded on his sabre, above hts uniform, With Il knapsaek and a haNefsack, a eanteen and a gun, Hath marched through mtasmaiic swamps, beneath the torrid sun. He paced alone the weary beat, out on the picket line, And biNoucked where glist ming stars, shone through the waving pine; His couch was but the solid eaeth, hts pillow but the sod, But sweetly dreamed the soldier, with his face turned up To God. He steod'in line os battle, mid showers of leaden rain, Saw the earth drink up the blood of q thousand comrades slain, He charged across the ahatis, the ene- my 10 meel, He knew the joy of victory, the sorrow of defeat He hath dwelt again in peaceful days, after the battles din, Enjoyed the fruilage of the years, his valor helped to win, We laid him in his native soil, the flag across his breast, We beat the taps above his grave, and, left him 10 his rest.
