Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 126, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 May 1912 — The Heroes. [ARTICLE]

The Heroes.

Bring laurel and myrtle oak and bay, • And wreaths of roses, white and gold, And drape their graves on this holy day With the flag they loved In the days of old; For the red Is red of the blood they gave. The white Is the smoke of the belching gun, And the blue is the blue of the sky they clave To gain the stars In the crownj they won.
