Where the iron gateway arches
Ger the dwellings of the dead,
In the meadows where the larches
Wave their foliage overhead;
Close beside the flowing rivers.
In the valleys peaceful rest,
Where the golden sunlight quivers
On the waters heaving breast,
Where the vernal blossoms cumber
River bank and meadow sward.
Rest our heroes in the slumber
OF their glory and reward.
Who shall desecrate these grasses,
Who antagonize this love.
Who disturb the Requiem Masses
Which the zephyrs sing abovei
May his right hand fail and wither
May his tongue envenomed rot,
Who would bring his hatred hither
Where love consecrates this spot:
Be their blood brand forever
On the demagOgues who strive
To recall their hates or sever.
The affections that survive!
Bring them flowers, for tender actions
Have more force than angry words:
Kindness cools the wrath of factions
Love will dull the sharpest swords.
Give the Blue the wreath Of roses,
Yield the laurel to the Gray,
While our tenderness discloses
That our hate has passed away.
Leave them here! their fame is com.
mon,
Be their tokens rose or rue,
Till the angels trump shall summon
From their slumbers Gray and Blue.
