Scarce had life’s noontide bells been tolled “ere he was called away, and while the shadows yet were lengthening to the west he made the supreme sacrifice, and laid his life upon the alter of his country that christian civilization might not perish from the earth.
Thy call has come in early manhood,
The noontide hour of heart and mind,
While we who dreamed of thy remaining
To mourn us, linger still behind.
But he who gave to the withered rosebush the sweet assurance of another springtime, tells us that in that sometime yet to be we will meet him.
We will meet him we will know him,
There amid the brave and true,
When the robe of white is given,
For the faded coat of blue.
