O knihe

Excerpt from The Schoolmates, or Mary Howard: An Epic of the War of 1861-5

K soldier's life, unlike the day, Is measured not by glowing sun; For oft, ere morn has passed away, Life with its noblest work is done. Thus brightest day or darkest night, Must find him still with purpose high; Prompt to engage the fiercest fight, Or in the forlorn hope to die. Thus on the altar life is laid; Himself a willing sacrifice; Only on earth perchance repaid Should peace o'er death's dark shadows rise.

Oft have I seen brave comrades die; Som'e scarred and broken homeward gone; Ranks battle thinned, as years pass by, And still the war goes on and on.
