 church;
 It springs from the statehouse dome; It kisses the breeze wherever it please,
 Set firm in the heart of the home. And all through the hours the incense
 of flowers,
 Of prayers and of praise is swung From a censer of gold that the child ren1iold
 While the storied past is sung. The censer in memory's storied urn
 That holdeth for love and rue The ashes of those whom each heart knows
 Fought for the gray or the blue. Fewer each year as the end draws
 near,
 When none will be left, not one, Who saw the sorrowful sights of war
 Or shared in the brave deeds done. But unto the children we tell the tale, And once in each twelvemonth long We honor the men who died for us II,
