might be true and apply to himself II h'
had crossed to the Heavenly camping

ONLY A WORKOUT SOLDIER.
Only WORKOUT soldier,
One Of the rank ald fle,
But there was time
When In his prime
He was noted for soldierly style.
Only lame old veteran,
Another gone to his rest;
But In days long ago.
With friend or with foe,
He could measure his strength with
the best
Only worn. out soldier,
One of the older stock
But there was day
In the thick Of the fray
He resisted the enemy's shock.
Only lame old veteran
Gone to his last parade;
But his bayonet was true,
As the Rebels well knew
As they tested Its glittering blade.
Only q worn-out soldier
Tenderly bear him away;
| In the mad rush of life.
Mid the turmoil and strife,
| He'll soon be forgotten for aye.
| Only WORKOUT veteran
| Gone to his last roll call;
To forget him. We must
Let the mantle crust
OF his memory gently fall.
