due to this organism. Healthy voles

days, and in others kept nenr dead or

To bring your spirit back to Him.

You wait beyond the Inn of Life.
Whore through lone nights the guard

Shuts out the clamor of the strife;
But far above the crimson sod
No barrier your soul might stop,
When, from the Great White Throne

You see the Legion cross the top.

The endless melody OF song;
You saw that summer skies were
That drifting summer days were long:
You waited while the twiliCht's breath
Came grooming some old scrcnadc.
To hold your Rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricadc."
Today the Legion holds the line
Unbroken by the driving mass,
Where you have helped to write the
sign
In dripping blood-"Thcy Shall Not
Pass"
And now beyond the far divide
You see the Starry Flag advance
Among the millions who have died
For love of Iibcrty--and France.
The Eagles wings at last arc spread
Above Il never beaten shield.
Where still among the deathlcss dead
Your spectre haunts the clottcd field;
And borne afar on summers breath
You send this message hurting
