" Storied urn," or lettered marble, Are not needed here to tell. That these pale unconscious sleepers Did their Spartan duty well : — Did their duty when they gathered Round that Banner, folded now To the battle tempest baring Each a dauntless breast and brow. % — ^^^^^^ — ^ ^ .^.-^ HER GLORY AND HER GRAVES. XXV ) XXIV. ^ Did their duty, when they bore it ^ Through the long and bloody strife — ) Aye, at last, to shield and save it, S Yielding each a hero's life, — Did their duty, when in dying,... Mingling with their parting prayer, Rose the wish that God would make it Still his highly favored care. XXV. Ended now is all the struggle — ^ Lost the cause they died to save ; ^ Folded is the war-worn banner, ) Crimsoned with the blood they gave. ; But not lost, and not forgotten, S Shall they be — the true and tried, { Who upheld it long and nobly, I Through the battle's angry tide. \ XXVI. s Passed are they to shores supernal, Far beyond the rolling flood; Sealed each martyr's brow immortal, With the sacrament of blood — Grsunded arras for crowns of glory ; Swords exchanged for Heavenly palms ; On their death wounds Christ the Healer Pours the sweet Celestial Balms.
