Text Appearing Before Image:
68. Let this hallowed duty* be observed in every graveyard ofour land. And when the blossoms of beauty are borne to theirresting-places, scatter them with lavish hands over the men whowore the Blue and the Gray, alike. They are slumbering peace-fully under the green sward, and the sounds of conflict willdisturb them no more. As we stand at their graves, let gentlethoughts of love and sympathy drive forever away all harsh orbitter memories. Let us think of them as having finished thebattle—it is over, and they have gone to their reward. The sun shines kindly down upon them; may its beamsbrighten and bless every living soul on whom they fall. When the veil fell upon the drama of the Civil War, it wasbelieved that the throes of battle would never again convulseour land. Peace was welcomed and hopes were indulged thatit would be perpetual. Brothers met brothers again in thewalks of social and business life, the scars of discord were healedand the rude sounds of dissension were banished.
Text Appearing After Image:
DECORATION DAY, GETTYSBURG, A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. 262 A SOUTHERN VOLUNTEER. 263 TWO VOICES. A SOUTHERN VOLUNTEER. Yes, sir, I fought with Stonewall, And faced the fight with Lee;But if this here Union goes to war, Make one more gun for me!I didnt shrink from Sherman As he galloped to the sea;But if this here Union goes to war, Make one more gun for me! I was with em at Manassas— The bully boys in gray;I heard the thunderers roarin Round Stonewall Jacksons way,And many a time this sword of mine Has blazed the route for Lee;But if this old nation goes to war. Make one more sword for me! Im not so full o fightin, Nor half so full o fun,As I was back in the sixties When I shouldered my old gun;It may be that my hair is white— Sich things, you know, must be-But if this old Unions in for war, Make one more gun for me! I haint forgot my raisin— Nor how, in sixty-twoOr thereabouts, with battle shouts I charged the boys in blue;And I say I fought with Stonewal
