The Robesonian., 1918-04-25

Hark to the shrill trumpet calling,
It p1erceth the soft summer air,
And tears from each conrad are fall
ing
For the widow and orphan are there
The bayonets earthward are turning,
AID the drums muffled breath rolls
around,
But he hears not the voice of their
mourning
Nor awakes to the bugle's sound.
Sleep, soldier, though many regret
thee,
Who stand by thy cold bier today,
Tom, soon willfhe Eindest forget thee
And thy name from the earth pass
away.
The one thou didst lov4s brother,
A friend in thy stead will have
gained;
Thy dog shall keep watch for another
And thy steed by stranger be
reined.
Though the hearts that now mourn
for thee sadly
Soon joyous as ever shall be,
Though thy bright orphan boy may
laugh gladly
AS he sits on some kind conrad s
knee;
There is one who shall still pay the
duty
Of tears for the true and the brave
AS when first in the bloom of her
beauty,
She wept o'er the soldiers grave.
The tune to this song is very beau
tiful, but the soldier voice that sang
it is silent.
