a„ „,emory of tl.ose who I.ave died in the
service of their country)
A sound of taps, and day is done
And with the fading of the sun.
Our hearts are sad, hut in tJ.e night,
n.ough tcar-dinuned eyes we see a ii^ht
A star! ’
He does not see the falling tears.
Or even feel our human fears.
For he can hear the angels sing
As through eternity they hrin-
The star! ”
X^J.eii night has gone and longing eyes
morning break across tlie skies.
We know his eyes and God’s have met.
And know that there is shining yet
Our star!

And curses our .leniocracy.
