But for our own, our loved and lost, we bringWith throbbing hearts and tears that still must flow, In full-heaped hands, the opening flowers of spring, Lilies half-blown, and budding roses, redAs their young cheeks, before the blood was shedThat lent their morning bloom its generous glow. Ah, who shall count a rescued nation's debt, Or sum in words our martyrs' silent claims?Who shall our heroes' dread exchange forget, --All life, youth, hope, could promise to allureFor all that soul could brav...e or flesh endure?They shaped our future; we but carve their names. HYMN FOR THE SAME OCCASION SUNG BY THE CONGREGATION TO THE TUNE OFTALLIS'S EVENING HYMN O'ERSHADOWED by the walls that climb, Piled up in air by living hands, A rock amid the waves of time, Our gray old house of worship stands. High o'er the pillared aisles we loveThe symbols of the past look down;Unharmed, unharming, throned above, Behold the mitre and the crown! Let not our younger faith forgetThe loyal souls that held them dear;The prayers we read their tears have wet, The hymns we sing they loved to hear.
