THE THREE LINKS.
What means that little chain, papa,
You wear upon your vest?
Those little links Of gold, i see
You press 1t to your breast.
Ny little lad. that simple chain
Means much of life to me-
I've worn It now for fifty years,
On land and on the sea.
wore 1t first in 81
Upon a coat of blue,
And often In that bloody strife
1t seemed TO pull me through.
Yet still my memory Is sad
As 1 recall the day
saw those shining little links
Upon a coat of gray.
I never knew who fired the shot
Which laid my brother low;
I only know that in my heart
Was misery and woe.
We two had sworn a solemn vow
Each other to protect.
And yet upon the battlefield
Our holy pact was wrecked.
From that dread day 1 took a part,
As every soldier must,
And strove to pierce my brothers heart.
With every vicions thrust.
Oh. God! That men should cruelty
The ones they dearly love
And ask a blessing the deed
From the Crucited above.
Then let us pray for that hlest day
When every war shall cease,
When emblems such as this I wear
Shall mean a perfect peace.
One link is Friendship one Is Love-
With Truth these are entwined.
The practice Of these virtues. son,
The world will surely bind.
