Once again they're marching gladly
To the martial music's call.
While the tattersd flag droops sadly,
Like a blessing over all
Brave as when Young soldier laddles.
Marched they to their country'a call,
Fearless as when blIndly facing
tirapeshnt fire and minnie ball
Marching where their fallen comrades
Rest in silent. sweet repose.
Bringing for each grave a token
Repedictions and a rose.
Ev'ry year we see them coming.
LOYAL still 10 those who sleep,
hut each year their steps are slower,
AS this loving tryst they keep.
Not the blossoms blue and fragrant.
Round about with ribbons gray,
Heap they on each silent bosom
on this sweet Memorial Day.
But the roses crimson, dropping,
Better far the story toll,
OF the brave young hearts left bleed

Passing on, our gray haired veterans

And the voices still are fewer

Ara each year fhslr ranks afetnilnner.
IA we note their muftied tread,
For they're surely, swiftly marching
To the ramparts of the dead.
Very soon wen face II future,
When their marching il no more.
When they'll furi their banners softly
on q distant. unseen shore.
Soon. ah! Soon they shall pass on
