The Last Words of Funston
"HOW DELIGHTFUL 1T ISL
BY HENRY POLK LoWEEsrErN

BY HENRY POLK LoWEEsrE1E
How delightful itisto do ones duty we'll
How delightful il is in the House Of God to dwell
How delightful it is like Sheridan on his ride,
With heart full OF hope, to swim to the Other side
How delightful it's, at Country's CALL
To put the armor and fight for ally
How delightful it is, in foreign land
To uphold the flag and for Justice stand
How delightful 1T is to slip out Of the sod,
And on the wings music to fly to God
Listening to the orchestra playing beautiful waltz
in the hotel where he stopping in San Antonio
Texas, General Funston speaking little girl nearby
said How delightful it isl and then expired, these
being his last words.
