And all is c:lm beneath the grass to-day, Quiet and soft their peaceful Blumbers prove, Ueedless lüko of wïïat goes ou above, Wliether they lay them down in blueorgray. We bring our offerinss for those who stood For home aiul country agaiu&t all beside, Who, holding loyal to that Bervlce, died, Thuá sealing their devotion with their blood And may the passing years weave closer yet The interlaeing ties'of human kiud. As in the sod the knotted grasses bind And hold the springing daisies closer set. ■. v G. A.
