To the memory of my devoted wife dead and gone	A
yet always with me I dedicate	B
	-
PAULINE	C
	-
The Flower of my heart nursed into bloom by her loving care	D
and ofttimes watered with her tears	E

	-
Fair morning sat upon the mountain top	G
Night skulking crept into the mountain chasm	H
The silent ships slept in the silent bay	I
One broad blue bent of ether domed the heavens	J
One broad blue distance lay the shadowy land	K
One broad blue vast of silence slept the sea	F
Now from the dewy groves the joyful birds	L
In carol concert sang their matin songs	M
Softly and sweetly full of prayer and praise	N
Then silver chiming solemn voiced bells	O
Rung out their music on the morning air	D
And Lisbon gathered to the festival	P
In chapel and cathedral Choral hymns	Q
And psalms of sea toned organs mingling rose	R
With sweetest incense floating up to heaven	S
Bearing the praises of the multitudes	T
And all was holy peace and holy happiness	U
A rumbling of deep thunders in the deep	V
The vast sea shuddered and the mountains groaned	W
Up heaved the solid earth the nether rocks	X
Burst and the sea the earth the echoing heavens	J
Thundered infernal ruin On their knees	Y
The trembling multitudes received the shock	Z
And dumb with sudden terror bowed their heads	A2
To toppling spire and plunging wall and dome	B2
	-
So shook the mighty North the sudden roar	C2
Of Treason thundering on the April air	D
An earthquake shock that jarred the granite hills	D2
And westward rolled against th' eternal walls	E2
Rock built Titanic for a moment shook	F2
Uprose a giant and with iron hands	G2
Grasped his huge hammer claspt his belt of steel	H2
And o'er the Midgard monster mighty Thor	C2
Loomed for the combat	I2
	-
Peace O blessed Peace	J2
The war worn veterans hailed thee with a shout	K2
Of Alleluias homeward wound the trains	L2
And homeward marched the bayonet bristling columns	M2
To Hail Columbia from a thousand horns	N2
Marched to the jubilee of chiming bells	O
Marched to the joyful peals of cannon marched	O2
With blazing banners and victorious songs	M
Into the outstretched arms of love and home	B2
	-
But there be columns columns of the dead	P2
That slumber on an hundred battle fields	Q2
No bugle blast shall waken till the trump	R2
Of the Archangel O the loved and lost	S2
For them no jubilee of chiming bells	O
For them no cannon peal of victory	F
For them no outstretched arms of love and home	B2
God's peace be with them Heroes who went down	T2
Wearing their stars live in the nation's songs	M
And stories there be greater heroes still	U2
That molder in unnumbered nameless graves	V2
Erst bleached unburied on the fields of fame	W2
Won by their valor Who will sing of these	Y
Sing of the patriot deeds on field and flood	X2
Of these the truer heroes all unsung	Y2
Where sleeps the modest bard in Quaker gray	I
Who blew the pibroch ere the battle lowered	Z2
Then pitched his tent upon the balmy beach	A3
Snow bound I ween among his native hills	D2
And where the master hand that swept the lyre	B3
Till wrinkled critics cried Excelsior	C3
Gathering the Aftermath in frosted fields	Q2
Then timid Muse no longer shake thy wings	D3
For airy realms and fold again in fear	E3
A broken flight is better than no flight	F3
Be thine the task as best you may to sing	G3
The deeds of one who sleeps at Gettysburg	H3
Among the thousands in a common grave	I3
The story of his life I bid you tell	J3
As it was told one windy winter night	F3
To veterans gathered around the festal board	K3
Fighting old battles over where the field	L3
Ran red with wine and all the battle blare	D
Was merry laughter and the merry songs	M
Told when the songs were sung by him who heard	Z2
The pith of it from the dying soldier's lips	M3
His Captain tell it as the Captain told	N3
