Who speaks for us Memorial day?
Whose burning words shall for us say
Something that brings our lost youth near
The hopes and aims of high emprise
That made life nothing in our eyes
And honor more than death or fear;
Who shall interpret for u.s. now
That men OF gold and pleasure bow
How love of country was most dear?
Whom shall we miss Memorial day?
Well is it that long years allay
The burdens Of the laboring heart
In Joy or sorrow, for the list

From camp and banquet, field and mart
In ancient foray field or fray,
And peaceful deathbeds passed away.
They from our hearts we're torn apart

Whereas His blessed islands lay
In golden light or purple haze.
Where deahess flowers and healing balm
For tired eyes. and holy calm
Await the brave whose fadeless bays
Growing immortal brows reward
Heroes whose lives we're given to guard

That we tread fearlessly the way
From manhood's prime to ages frost;

Regardless OF the pain or cost
That still we prize Ger wealth and power

Who Marches Next Memorial Day :?

Who marches next Memorial day?
Speak up, brave comrades let me say
The post turns out in force this year
Lees veterans, Johnsons infantry
Stewards tireess cavalry.
Semmess sea dogs without peer;
Tireless and fearless in the past.
Bear yourselves proudly to the last,
Though years fly fast and death draws near
Who'll bear the dear old flag bright
lri-colored banner red and white
AS sunsets glory spotess snow
On whose bands Of heavenly blue
The golden stars OF statehood true
Like bivouac fires devinely glow?
'Tis but wisp of silk the staff
Light as boys slight wand. You laugh
They seemed so forty years ago.
Who'll lead us through the crowded streets
While cornets bIare and bass drum beats
Help us to keep unwonted time
To martial strains that give new life.
To memories Of those years of strife
And trial in this Southern clime
Wherein we poured out youths sweet bloom
And manhood's strength, like the perfume
That censers waste in fanes sublime?
Not the old colonel tried and true,
Nor his stout major in review
Or march they'll lead us nevermore.
Some captain brave lieutenant gay
Or sergeant proved in march and fray
Succeeds to the command they bore;
When, waking from the spell of peace
In memory proud we felt surcease
OF pain and donned the gray once more.
In memories Of brave deeds and men,
Of losses blending Joy and pain,
OF gallant lives. given to death
Loyalty, cheeriy as rain
