Home she went exhausted, dying,With her soldier-husband lying At her side with battle she said : When death has found me,Soothed me into rest and crowned me,Wrap the flag I love around me, With the glorious Stripes and Stars. With the Stars and Stripes wrapped round herShe was speaking truth profounder Than the bugle ever brayed ;While the patriot women renderTo the Flag a love so tender,Not a stripe shall lose its splendor. Not one star shall ever fade. And the earth that closed upon herSeemed to rise up with new honor And draw nearer unto God;While all hearts were rent asunderWith a thrill of awe and wonderAs the Stars and Stripes went under The very ground they trod. Oh! the sweet and tender storyOf these patriot souls sheds glory On the Flag forever shall love the cause they wrought for,We shall seek the end they sought for,We shall guard the flag they fought for. And in living, dying, bore. — Rev. Alfred J. Hough, Bradford, Vt. OUR ARMY NURSES. 27. NATIONAL MONUMENT, GETTYSBURG, PENN. 28 OUR ARMY NURSES.
