The Boys In Gray.
Our ranks are growing thinner, boys; |
And our steps are growing slow.
Our eves are getting dimmer.
And our heads are bending low.
Our forms are bent, but people
We are ever proud to see
The boys who fought with Jackson
With Johnson and with Lee.
We are not so lithe and limber
As we were in sixty-one,
Our are not so sparkling,
For we see our setting sun;
But the hero spirits in us
As ’twas ever want to he.
The bnvs that fought with Jackson,
With Beauregard and Lee.
Our day are being numbered
And soon we will pmt to rest,
Beneath the sod of Dive,
The land we loved the best;
But grand wi’l b on • memory,
’3 ill time shall cease to be;
The boys who fought with Jackson,
Hood, Gordon and with Lee.
We wore never much in numbers,
But I know we “did” our part,
And won the whole world’s honor
And our native countrv’s heaht;
And when this life is over,
And we from toil are free
We’ll fight no more with Jackson,
With Johnson nor with Lee.
Tn .all our pomp and splendor
Of an nrmv on parade.
All through the awful darkness
The smoke of battle made;
In the hills where jewels glitter
And where shouting men debate,
And in the place where rulers
Deal our honors to the great.
We have shown to all creation
How the world’s affairs should run,
Future men will gaze in wonder
At the work that we have done.
We have helped to build your cities
And houses not a few,
And soon we will go to glory
And leave them all with you.
