The Conquered Banner

Furl that Banner. for 'tis weary.
Round its staff It's dropping dreary;
Furl it--it is best;
For there's not a man to wave it,
And there's not a sword to save It
And there's not one left to lave 1t
In the blood which heroes gave it;
f'url 1t, hide it-let it rest
Take the Banner down. tits tattered;
Broken is its staff and shattered
And the valiant hosts are scattered
over whom it noated high

Hard to think there's none to hold it,
Hard that those who once unrolled Il
Now must furl il with a sigh!
Furl that Banner-furl 1t sadly:
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore 1t should forever wave
Swore that foeman's sword could never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever
And that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom, or their grave.
Furl 1t, for the hands that grasped 1t,
And the hearts that fondly casped it,
Cold and dead are lying low:
And the Banner-it is trailing
While around IT sounds the waillng
OF its people in their woe,
For though conquered. they adore f.
Love the cold, dead hands that bore II
Weep for those who fell before It,
Pardon those who trailed and tore It:
And oh, wildly they deporc it,
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that Banner. True, It's CORY,
Yet it's wreathed around with glory.
And twill live in song and story
Though its folds are in the dust!
For its fame on brightest pages.
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl it's folds though now we must
Furl that Banner softly, slowly;
Treat ii gently-it is holy
For 1t droops above the dead;
Touch 1t not-unfold it never,
Let it droop there furled forever
For its peoples hopes are fed

At last she seemed to be quite sure OF his
good nature, for she reached out her hand
and gently stroked his left hand as Ii rested
on the handle Of his sword. The Prince
turned around with an astonished expression
smiling up at him he smiled amiably him
self, stopped and shook hands With her and
asked who she was. She answered:

they told him who her father was he ex-
pressed a wish to meet the General and
