Once they plowed the fruitful field,
Helped the reaper gain its yield,
Came 10 eve with sweet content,
Browsing when the day was spent:
Now they lie With mangled hide,
Fallen in the carnage tide.
Now they wage the battle hot
Plunging- under shell and shot:
Bearing dealers of the death,
Charging in the cannon's breath.
Till n agony they bide.
Fallen in the carnage tide.

Which excuses bloody ways?

Torn and dead or death denied.

one side Of the state to the other.

out elsewhere. A special state law
has been passed to guard the trees
