The Blue And The Gray it“. The poem follows: .... m BLUE A“ Elli GRAY , 'By mules man By the flow of the inland river. ‘ Where the fleets of iron have fled. Where the biaderot the grave- grass quiver. , Asleep are the ranks of the dead: Under the sod- and the dew: ‘ Waiting the judgment day: Un'de‘r the one. the Blue. Under the other; this Gray. These in the robings of glory. Those in the gloom of dofeat.‘ All with the battle-blood gory: In the dusk of eternity meet: Under the sod and‘tho dew.. Waiting the judgment day: Under the laurel the Blue. Under the willow. the Gray. ‘om the silence 9t sorrowful hours The desolate mourners go. Lovingiy laden with flowers Alike for the friend and the foe: Under the sod and the dew. Waitinf the Judgment day; Under the roses. the Blue. Under the lillies. the Gray. . So with an equal splendor The morning's sun- rays fall. With s touch impartially tender. On the blossoms blbomlng for all: Under the sod and the dew. \Vniting the judgment day: Broidered with gold. the Blue. \ieilov. ed with gold. the Gray So. when the summer calleth. 0n the forest and field of grain. \Vitn an equal murmur falleth The coolng drip of the rain: I'F'V‘r the and end the dew. Waiting the judgment day: Wet with the rain. the. Blue. \Vet with the rain. the Gray. Badly. but not with upbraidlng. The generous deed was done. In the storm of the years that are fading. No braver battle was won: Under the and end the dew. Waiting the judgment dayzt Under the blossoms. the Blue. Under the garlands. the Gray. No more shall the war-cry sever. Or the winding rivers be red. They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dendt. Under the sod and the dew. Waiting the judgment day: Love and tears for the Blue. Love and tears for the Blue. Tears and love for the Gray. By the flow of the inland river.
