The Returned Maine Battle Flags

By Moses Owen
Nothing fags-but simple
Tattered hanging in
And beneath them with careless tread,
Nor think of the hosts Of the mighty dead,
That have marched beneath them in days gone by.
With a burning cheek. a kindling
And their folds with their lfes tide
And dying blessed them, and blessing. died.
Nothing fags-yet, methnks, night
They tell each other their tales of fright!
And dim spectres and their thin Irvine
Round each standard torn--as they stand in line
AS the word is gven-they charge! they FORM
And the dim hall rings with the bat ties storm;
And again. through the smoke and strife,
Those colors lead Nations life
Nothing but hags-yet they're bathed with tears;
They tell triumrhs-of hopes-cf fears
OF mothers prayers-of boy
OF serpent crushed-of the coming day;
Silent they speak-and will
AS stand beneath them with tnrobbng heart
those
Their home-why
Nothing but fags-yet hold breath.
And with those types Of DEATH;
Nothing but hags-yet the though. will
The heart pray though the lips dumb
They sacred. and stain
On those
Baptized in blood purest. best,
Tattered and torn, they're at rest.
