Unworthy I — the soldier's peer in age !
Ignoble I — The soldier's peer in strength !
Benothinged I — a vagabond beyond The pale of immortality for aye !
O soldier of the country of my birth !
All would I oive that I have Qrained within The worlds of wonder of the New and Old, Had I thy history within my heart !
That I might thrill as I have never yet, While I read what is written there in blood : I faced my country's foe at Gettysburg !
I fired a shot — I drove a bayonet — I clubbed an empty g
...un at Gettysburg !
Or, glory of all glories of the earth !
I bore the shot and shell betattered flag — I bore the blood and brain bespattered flag- I bore the Stars and Stripes at Gettysburg !
Aye ! veteran of the United States !
All would I give that haply I have gained — Alone in eldritch Australasian wilds.
Or mingling witli the millions of Cathay ; Agape in London's inwalled wonder worlds, Or musing" on the moonlit Amazon ; Dreaming the dream of marble of the Taj, Or thinkino- the eternal thoughts of Rome ; Scaling Corea's wall against the world, Or stayed by storms in Patagonian wastes ; Amid Himal'va's heaven-kissing heiehts, Or Halemaumau's hell-ignited fires ; Elate before a list'ning Emperor, Or aw-ed at the Annointed's Holy Tomb !
