SONG OF the staiwart.
When each red fight has. been well
fought
When each hard race has been we'll
when We have gained the peace we've
sought
wit hno more battles to he won
When friends no longer need my aid.
And cloudleas swings the summer sky--
when weak hearts beat on unAfraid
In breasts that know no sob or sigh
when Love 10 trus and Llfs IL faith.
And on no back there falls tho rod
When honor IL no more "A wrath
And no ono fears TO meet his uod-
When Wrong lies dead and Right Ia kinG,
And there are no more tears TO weep
No cheering SONGS Of faith to sing
And all the earth Is lulled TO sleep
When all the weary millions como
From blood-swept fields to hearths OF
home.
When no one hears the rolling drum
on battled land nor crimson foam
Though worn and old-dust unto dust
Ny body sinks-to other lands
My soul shall break from out It's crust
And still fight on with bold commands.
