OUR COLONEL

Deep loving, well knowing
His world and its blindness,
A heart overflowing,
With measurless kindness,
Undaunted in labor,
(And death was trifle)
Steel-true as a sabre,
Direct as rifle.
All man in his doing,
An boy in his laughter,
He fronted, unruing,
The Now and Hereafter,
A storm battling cedar,
A comrade, brother
Oh, such was our Leader.
Beloved as no other! ~
When weaker souls faltered
His courage remade us
Whose tongue never paltered,
Who never betrayed us.
His hand on your shoulder
All honors exceeding,
What breast but was bolder
. Because he was leading?
And still in our trouble,
In peace or in wartime,
His word shall redouble
Our strength as aforetime.
When wrongs cry for righting,
No odds shall appal US;
To clean, honest fighting
Again he will call us.
And, cowboys or doubtboys,
Well follow his drum, boys,
Who never said, go, boys"
But always said, "Come, boys!"
