THE SOLDIER SPEAKS.
Captain l. B. Myers

We have fought your fight, we have
spilled our blood,
And The graves of our pals are green
We have gone where YOU sent thru
battle and scourpe.
And we've come through with Vic
tory clean
The years Of our lives are shortened
by far
That the hopes you cherished might
bear,
And ali we ask, that the fighting Is
done.
Is treat our dead pals square
And "Brotherly Love" may go for
some.
Who haven't been scared by flame ;
And pctting the Hun may do for the
breed
Who answer a towards name
But ask US 10 take the hand Of "a
beast,
While our comrades blood drips red
And wen say TO the teeth of SUCH
nfamy:
Remember the boys who are dead +"
There may be those who would build
their wealth
With trappings OF German mould,
And maybe there live a pitiful few
Who would revel in Prussian gold:
But the men from the trenches In
Flanders field
Are strong in the pride Of race.
We are iourneying back to the West
erland
To look our old friends in the face.
We are coming back with the joust
with death,
To the old remembered ways,
To tired in the paths Of ambient peace
And We seek neither honor nor praise.
But the ghosts of the pals we left
behind
Call out from the new turned loan,
And all that We ask, is remember the
boys
our pals who will never GENE home.
