Where once the seagulls slowly wing ed. The vulture only soars; A sanded stretch of desert mourns The hele of vanished shores: And tho’ long since the quivering waves Went out with vanished tides. The shells remain and coral clings long the mountain sides. The fiery flash and thunder crash, The starry fates of men. The purple prides of royal thrones Where kingly crowns have been— Like vanished tides these all will pass And leave the sands to tell Their splendor in the levelled graves— The coral and the shell. A grave for me in flelds of FYance, ’Tls road to Heaven’s Gate; And though the eyes of Fame not see. What better gift of fate! The after suns will green-and grass— Perhaps a child will place A shell to ear and sound those seas The coral levels trace. —By H. G. Link, Jr. OFFICERS OF 423RD RESERVE LABOR BATTALION. DISCHARGED.
