In Memoriam
"Their spirits live in the hearts of men,
Good deeds can never die.
the banner fair that they sought to save,
Still floats 'neath the evening sky,
And the bright North Star o'er their graves
shall keep A vigil eternal and sure,
A symbol forever of hope that shines,
For lives that were brave and pure. "
" Taps are sounded, lights are out,
The soldiers sleep."
