Oh, they sing of the brave On the foam-capped wave | And the deeds he did at sea,When he fought with his mightIn a bold sea-fight And vanquished the enemy. And they sing the songOf the soldier strong And his prowess upon the land,How his sword he would wieldOn the battle-field. In quelling a rebel band. But the victoryOf the brave at sea.

But the glories of warFor the living are,— And not for the dead who fail!What matter, thoughBrave hearts lie low?All glory and praise and honor go To the living who tell the tale. Mrs. W. L. Webb. II. CAPT. A. A. LESUEUR(See page 366.)
