THE Asst SALUTE
Yes. the ranks are growing smaller
With the coming of each May,
And the boards and locks once raven
Now are mingled thick with gray;
Soon the hands that strew the flowers
viii be folded still and cold,
And our story of devotion
VIII forever have been told.
Years and years have passed by, comrades
Though it seems bat yesterday
Since the blue-garbed Northern Iegions
Marched to meet the Southern gray,
But day since Massachusetts
Babe her soldier boys good-by.
But a day since Alabama
Heard her brave sons farewell cry.
Those are days we all remember,
In our hearts we hold them yet;
And the kiss we got at parting,
Who can ever that forgets
And it may have been a mother,
fond father or a wife.
Or maid whose love was dearer
To the soldiers heart than life.
Then the silent midnight marches,
And the heice-fonKht battles roar,
And the sailors lonely watches,
Gone, please God, foreyermore:
Though these meier can be forgotten
While the dew our graves shall wet,
Yet the color Of our jackets
Let each gallant heart forget.
For the ranks are growing smaller.
And though deeked In blue or gray,
Soon both armies will be sleeping
In their shelter. tents OF clay.
But the loud reverberation
OF the last salute shalt be
OF, re- echoed through the ages,
AS the toesin of The free.
For we both bat did our duty,
In the Great Jehovah's plan,
And the world has learned lesson
That all men may read who can;
And when gathered for the muster
On the last and dreadful day,
May that God extend His mercy
Sweet, alike TO Blue and Gray.
