Decoration Day, 1909, by Frederick Andrews Bush

Dearly beloved soldiers of the gallant
q. A. X.
Today the bugle soundeth. it sounds
from near and far.
IL is calling living soldiers into a
grand review
To decorate with natures flowers the
graves of heroes true.
And throughout our grand Republic, in
BY the side of fallen heroes our living
heroes wait.
They hear the roar OF cannon and see
the flash OF gun,
AS they scatter flowers upon the graves
of those whose work is done;
Each year beholds the roll call grow
smaller day by day,
AS one by one the veterans so swiftly
pass away.
And we meet today, dear comrades, to
spend "A few short hours.
In covering graves of hero braves with
natures faireSt flowers.
Let us pause before we decorate these
graves OF heroes dead.
Let US penetrate our histories and see
what they have said
OF the soldiers OF our country who
stood up side by side
An. for this grand republic so bravely
tought and died.
Let US study well the lessons which
our soldier dead have left,
Let us go into the households of the
heroes smiles bereft.
Let us note the wife and children and
hear the tale they tell
Or the pains that they have suffered
since the gallant soldier fell.
Let US ask the feeble father, and the
mother whose dear son,
Left the home to march to battle at the
call from Washington.
Let us ask what they have suffered
since their dear son marched away
To save our own loved country from
ruin and decay
Let us ask the weeping sweetheart
who waited all in vain.
For the coming OF her lover who upon
the field was slain.
Let US ask the weeping orphans who
for fathers dear did weep
If they suffered for the soldiers who in
southern graves now sleep.
Let US hear the tales of sorrow and OF
suffering they bore
For the honor of the country which We
one and all adore.
Many brave and gallant soldiers fell
on southern battle ground,
But their memories are still living
Ger our fair land they resound.
Many others, manned and crippled
halt and lame came marching back,
Or upon the railroad coaches rode
along the iron track,
Broken down in constitution, suffering
every kind of pain.
Heroes OF our Grand Republic, whC
shall say their acts were vain.
But the men who gave the freedom tC
the negro OF the south,
Many of them, must 1 say ii, have L
ave from hand to mouth
But nation stoops TO honor any sol
der that is dead,
When his voice is hushed forever. anC
we hear no more his tread.
Hence we scatter natures garlands OF
the woodlands fairest flowers
In respectful recognition of the sol
diers weary hours
To the memory of the soldier, upright
honest noble, true,
Who lies sleeping in the graveyard In
the faded coat OF blue.
May his memory never wither, but
grow Breener day by day,
Till the countless ages over all OF
earth has passed away.
Then above, where all is splendor In
the coming afterland
We shall know our parted heroes, we
shall know and understand.
Rest in peace, We gallant warriors OF
Antietam and Bull Run,
Soon you'll hear the bugle sounding
and the welcome Words, We'll Done
Rest in peace ye noble heroes who met
death at Malvern HILL

For thy sufferings we remember and
/ trust we always will.
A on have done your duty nobly, you
have fought "A battle true
To perpetuate our union with its red
and white and blue.
Slumber SWeetly, men or NtckSburg,
and of Island No. Ten,
Never more the noise OF battle shall
awaken thee again.
But in the Sunny Southland, on the
hillside, in the vale,
of those left TO tell the tale.
, And the green sward bore the life
/ blood of many loyal soul
In that awful reign of carnage that
our country might be whole.
And today a nation mourning drops
for every one flower
For the grand appreciation OF the
heroes OF that hour.
Brothers, sisters, friends and neighbors
join the great and mighty throng
Who are passing through the grave
Joining with their aged comrades of
the days OF sixty-one.
With flower and prayer of blessing
for the men whose work is done.
Nor would we forget those others who
few short years ago
| Left their home and happy fireside TO
ayenge the Spanish foe.
Some of them in far off Cuba and
Manila far away
| Tasted war with all it's horrors for
the Union of today.
And the boys who wore the yellow
like the boys who wore the blue
Hold a place in our affections which
will evermore be true.
Let us pause and learn lesson from
the heroes of the hour
Who. today are quietly sleeping meath
the green sod and the flower
| They marched forth TO earthly battles
| and they fought both day and night
| To protect a nations honor Who shall
say il was not right?
| But, we too. have got battle we
4 oh N
That will lead us to Gods kingdom
II we fight the proper way.
To the land OF milk and honey to the
home beyond the sky,
Where the wicked cease from troubling
in that happy home on high.
Let US fight this battle nobly, let US
| fight this battle right,
So that we may gain that kingdom
| where the Son OF God lis light
And when life with us is ended and
/ there comes the grand review
/ May there be a grand reunion OF the
/ yellow and the blue.
| But while honoring the heroes who
| sleep beneath the clay
i Let us not forget the heroes who are
with US day by day.
Though their step is growing weaker
and their hair has turned TO white,
| We should strive to make their bur
| den in the daily voyage light.
Let us help to gain the pensions which
these veterans now require,
That their last days may be filled VI
with each thing they may desire.
i Let us give to him who's crippled by
1 the bayonet or she'll
! Or the hoof of frantic war horse, a;
upon the ground he fell
All we can to help the hero in his fas
/ declining years,
So his life may have its pleasures in.
stead of grief and tears.
I Let us learn to love the soldier fol
the good that he has done,
In. giving to us. one and all. the bes
land meath the sun.
1 And today, let us remember, as abov,
the graves we tread
| That a soldier is hero just as mucf
| alive as dead.
And while these gray haired veterans
/ are with us day by day,
/ Drop a flower or deed among then
that will cheer them on the way.
| Let us comfort them and cheer them
no matter who they are,
! And may God add richest blessings tC
