The city Is deserted, Sunday quiet regns,
The thoroughfares silent ways OF peace;
Today fight battles for losses nor for gainSS
Today they bid all business to cease.
The banners futter idly upon the gentle All,
The doors closed, the shops are hushed ana DIM
1t almost seems the breezes with tender murmers Dear
The cadence of . low memorial hymn.
Come the people let us join in the throng
That pays its gracious tribute 10 the dead
this great pavilion-Is this a nations songf
Nay they are shouting: "Line it outp' instead.

But wait. They fallen heroes fame
They're the pitcher send curves as they desire
And win or lose q doubleheader game
Come then All here are banners and here rolling dums
And we hear trumpes sounding forth the tune
And see how vast and mighty the multitude that comes
To join the throng that's here this afternoon. So.

To chase the greasy piggy and otherwise pursue
The airy flight of pleasure for the day.
And here a crowd goes fishing; and all along this road
