Looking Backward
BY FRANK HunBELI, e7ru PrNNA.. cvn WAR

The cannon Numbered on the hill
top, the signal gun calling together
those who had subscribed their names
to the roll of enlistment The young
the middle-aged. the old were gone.
Days, months. years passed by. The
moss-bearded live oaks of the south
ern lagoons, the towering pines OF the
mountain side, the cypress OF the
swamps and the Savannas were
stripped of their limbs and foliage
by grape and canister, their huge
trunks rent in twain by solid shot;
the vast plains of the southland. with
its valleys OF grass and flowers. were
stained with smoke and crimson. The
plumed bird of paradise. the MARBLE
of the knocking bird, the curflew's rest
less cry. were hushed in the death
knell of thousands, for they slept by
each river and tree.
The mother waited in vain for the
son who never came; the sister list
ened for the favorlte step upon the
house walk. The lights burned in the
bridal chamber in waiting for him to
see his first born; but the fathers
glory was soldiers grave.
Oh, what time was that What
tribute was theirs who never returned.
You who lived not in those dark
days. learn the lesson Well hear the
written and the unwritten story Of
that fearful war. Impress it upon
your minds as il is written in the
faces and forms of the living comrades
of today; let the fires of patriotism in
flame your very soul TIL God and
Country shall own you as one.
Toll. Toll! Toll the bell. The ma
ton in grief is thinking today.
Way back in the Swallowed days
they see the fierce storm of battle;
the great guns rumble DER land and
sea, making long lists of names that
are now transcribed upon marble
slabs that stand gastly and lonely
over the sepulchral mounds through
out the valleys and glens Of the sunny
south
But the boys are not there. Way
OF in the golden realms of the Spirit
world, where il is illuminated by the
countless millions of candelabraed
planets, We behold the camping ground
of our comrades gone before Their
white raiment transforms the sur.
roundings to tented field. not Of
