THE SONG OF CAMP.

A recent writer from the war front
In France declared that the boys on
the battle line do not sing any Of the
so-called new war songs" but that
their favorites are old songs like San
ME Laurie" Human nature does not
change much: for many years ago
Bayard Taylor observed the same
thing in another war, and wrote the
following stanzas about it:
"Give us a song!" the soldiers cried.
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps
allied
Grew weary Of bombarding.
The dark Redan, In silent scor.
Lay, grim and threatening. under:
And the tawny mound of the Mala-
koff
No longer belched it's thunder.
There was pause A guardsman
said,
1--WE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the battery's side.
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and Clyde.
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
nj li~r4 80
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until it's tender passion
Rose like an anthem rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not
speak,
But, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
With scream Of shot, and burst of
shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of annie Laurie"
Sleep soldiers! Still in honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.
