And the flag ahove-is it fashioned OF

Md where do the soldiers come from,
and how ID an army made,
e Fifty years bring hidden snsers when
the soldiers would PARADE
Put them sside-the soldiers; and tell
them they've had their day,
For the land Is great and renleu1-
brance short, and their lean lines
melt away.
I God pity Is when we do It, and touch
us upon our eyes
That we see our flag fl no Tapping
rag, but q glory against the skies.
For the nation Iives that remembers
and cherishes faith and trust,
But the nation dies that has blinded
eyes-tt is one with tie drifting
dust
What do ye care for the soldiers And
what did they care for you
When they heard the cry OF q stricken
