Have passed and from US slow de-
part;
At last is stiiled wars throbbing drum
And, vietory-erowned, fair Peace has

The guns have ceased their thun-

The mad sea-wolf no longer harms,
And ships sail safe from shore to
shore;
Wars eagles now no longer rove
The sky with bolts like those Of Jovei
At night, Ger many a battle plain,
The stars their solemn vigil keep,
Where crosses white alone remain
To mark where myriad brave men

And DER the bvouaeked dead in

The moon sheds its soft radiance!
So shall they sleep through coming

And Memory at the Gate Of Tears
Fore'er will guard our heroes slain,
And proud remembrance still shall be

Where shepherds guarded sleeping

And heard the clash OF armies gone,
And seemed, or so the legends say,
To hear the war-steed's awesome

Their story, told through circling years
AS long as Time its course shall run,

We recall and reafirm the principles

side of our history, the other side
of our national character. II is the
day when we remember not the tri-

to become too bOastful on Memorial
day. On the contrary, we must humble

all the wars of our history have glad

the nation might be preserved and

at first only an occasion for them
to remember affectionately their lost
