| GOD SPEED OUR SOLDIERS.
They know not where the journey
ends
Our boys that march away;
| They only know their country sends
Them on it's work today,
To foreign lands, meath alien skies
There Liberty deep wounded lies,
And calls on us to save.
Ye lads that leave our homes forlorn
AS forth to war ye go,
What though our hearts with grlel
are torn.
Yet would we have It so.
Could France-friend of our In
fancy
Appeal TO us in vain2
France, that for our liberty bled
On Yorktown's storied plain!
God speed you, gallant gentleman
Columbia's Chivalry!
Fare forth to fields of fame again,
For faith and memory.
We know your hearts beat strong ana
true,
That Freedoms blood will telli
Dear lads. our hats are off to you,
God keep you all. Farewell.
George Frederick Welt. in Leslle's.
