In Memoriam
The muf1led drums no longer beat,
The wearied step is still,
And forces once opposed now meet
In friendly, helpful will.
The days Of cannons' roar are fed,
No more to come again,
No more shall mortals' blood be shed.
By his own brother, slain.
The Blue, the Gray. both one in mind,
viii journey ever on,
United like the loves that bind
A father and son.
The humble daisy lifts its head
Above the lowly sod,
Where sleeps the Blue whose blood
was shed, 49,
For Country and for God.
Not far away magnolias bloom,
Seeming the sweet May air.
The Gray rests there, in earth's dark
tomb,
Praise him with honors rare.
And DER them both with glory just,
Floats the Red, White and Blue,
And Country's boast I'm GOD WE
TRUST"
Is now, as ever true.
