They Marched With Grant and Lee
It happened many years ago
When I was but a child,
To grandma's (hands two letters came
CAio winter night so wild.
1 SSeard her read the letters o’er, .
Tlhe meaning seemed to me,
One of my uncles was with Grant,
Thu oilier one with Lee.
My Uncle Joseph went away
One morning as the sun
Was rising o’er the pasture land
I saw him take this gun;
And Uncle John, too, went away
That evening after tea;
'J . , jetters said one was with Grant,
J‘ e oilier one witli Lee.
Long years have passed away since then
And tomes that dreadful day,
The Maine was wreeKed by murderous
hands;
And < ager for tlhe fray,
M\ leys witli other boys marched oirt
T eir country’s guard to be—
Tli.y match away together now
Ai.d go vit i Grant and Lee.
