Miss Paulenah M. Simmons theI
read the following original poem:
In a wonderful land of freedom
Under the open sky,
With the soil they loved above them
our patriot soldiers lie;
In many peaceful valley
Where thousands rest in state,
ON many II lonely hillside
Where no man marks their fate.
Sunshine falls upon their graves,
Rain brings cool caress,
While winds chant requlems DER them,
Earth clasps them to her breast.
Would they care II no one mourned them,
Would they miss the tribute we pay,
Does such service MS theirs need recon-
pense,--
Fen at the judgment day.
To the veins of the great republic
They gave their hearts best blood
The throb of her pulsing life today
Is their gift to a righteous God.
