-4 14 TO FIFTY-FOUR (By Nurse Theresa M. Sonner.) I’m very, very, lonely, and sad as one can be. Since all my friends of "Fifty-Four’’ have started “over sea.' I came right at the first, freezing in the cold. When we toiled and moiled as if for gold. Oh! Those were the days, I must con fess. When We stayed with the job with out much rest. At first we were few, with so much to do, And like a big family, our crowd soon grew. So oft’ the days were cold and dreary, Yet our work ne’er let us grow weary. And there were days of beautiful sun shine That glistened so bright among the pines. Then there were days where the ice' flows bellowing ran, And so deep wag th© mud, that over us placed a ban. How we all did bear the aggrava tions, W'ith nothing else to do, l)ut smile to our patients. Those days are gone, but I trust '.vs'li ne’er forget. In spite of our hardships how glad I am-you to have met. And now tonight with the trail? stii! untrod. , * It whines in my heart-strings, m Thee, oh, God! Now how strange everything to 'v.> doth appear. Since the dear nurses of Futy- Four’’ are no longer here. I long for you girls—my friends one and all; Only to realize that you have an swered the call. THE CADUCEUS. ’Mid wind and storm which have les sons to teach, It is useless for me, I cannot put into speech. For there’s a cry from out the lone liness. Begging for you, "Fifty-Four,' to come back. My heart still aches since the bnte • leaving. It’s the lure of your voices; the mandate of the woods. It’s for you dear "Fifty-Four’’ I'm grieving. And I pray m'y friends you’ll ma'.re good. Now, fare you well, dear "Fifty-Four,' My friends as I have said oefore, 1 hope we all again shall meet. I trust to God you all to greet. MADE INSPECTION.
