The fact that up to this time rates of

MARCH OF THE DEATIILESS
DEAD.

Gather The sacred dust.
OF the warriors tried and true
Who bore the flag Of our Nations trust,
And died for me and YOU.
Gather them. one and al!
From the private ia the chief.
Come they from hovel or prinrclv hail
Thcv fe ! for us, and for them shall fall
The tears of a nations grief.
Gather the corpses streWn
Ger many a battle plain;
From many a grave that lies 50 lone
Without a name and without a stone.
Gather the Southern slain.
We "are not whence they came.
Dear is their ~lifelesS clay;
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country is still the
same,
They died and wore the gray
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart.
Living they struggled side by side
Why should the hand Of death divide
A single heart from heart
Gather their sacred clay.
Wherever it may rest
Just rs they marched to the bloody
fray,
Just rs they fell on the battle day,
Bury them breast to breast.
The fOCman need not dread
This gathering Of the brave.
Without sword or flag, with a s%oundlcss
tread,
We must once more take our deafness
dead,
Out of each lonely grave.
The fOcman need not frOwn.
They are all pOwcr+pSs now
We gather them here and we Law them
down.
And tears and prayers the only crown,
We bring to wreath each brown.
And the dead thus meet the dead.
While the living Ocr them weep.
And the men whom Lee and St0ncwaH
led
And the hearts that once together blcd
Together still shall sleep.
