the war
Under the lilies of France they lie,
Silently taking their last, long rest;
And the soft breeze murmugs in pass
ing by,
While rivulets echo the tender be-
hest.
Sleep, laddie, sleep.
While onward shall pour the victo-
rious band,
And the Teuton be crumpled behind
his frontier;
Tho the hoarse shout of triumph
shall fill all the land,
And an eagerly listening world shall
hear.
Sleep, laddie, sleep.
When our boys shall at last sail
back DER the deep
With freedom established forever
and ay,
They shall not be unmindful, o lad,
in your sleep,
But tcnderly STOPPING shall bear
yOu away.
So sweetly sleeping.
And under the lilies of home you shall
rest
Where nature seems poised in ten
derest prayer;
And the thought of lad who went
over the crest
Shall render that mound surpass-
ing fair
While you sleep, laddie, sleep.

american Christian Advocate.
