OUR MARTYRED DEAD.
UR martyred deads On ea. h low bod. Green be the chaplet. Fresh the ruses; Oh. lightly rest. On each calm breast, i Tbs turf where each In peace reposes. Hall, hero shades I Your battle blades A wall of steel
Our hom»« zurroundad; Your deela have won. From tire to n>n, Luva, joy and gratitude Unbounded. No marble cold May guard your mould. But living hearts, ■* Around, are swelling; Each daring deed Shall gain the meed Of praise from all hearts Richly flowing. Your sacred dust * Be the choice trust Of Freedom's grateful Sons and daughters; While future days Your fame shall raise. From Atlantic's To Pacific waters. —Rev. Mark Trafton. From "Beacon Lights of Patrtotiam."
