In Memoriam
by H. S. Whitney **
Somewhere in France, where duty led,
He filled a patriot's grave.
The larks sing high above his head,
Only the larks knew the hallowed bed.
Where lies our soldier brave,
Sacred the ground where a soldier sleeps.
Who came at this country's call,
Onward the tide of battle sweeps.
Only the lark o'er his bosom weeps,
Yet he gave to the world his all.
