Dedicated to the Tenth Battery Rhode Island Volunteers,before leaving their camp for home. By Lieut. Samuel , Jr. : Amid the joys that fill our every heart At happy greetings from the loved at home,Tis joy to feel that as true friends we part, That so few shadows oer our path has come. Days, weeks, and months weve shared each others lot, And each his portion of the burden borne,And pleasant memries linger round the spot, Where rapidly those days and weeks rolled on. We leave this spot,—but not without a sigh. For here weve counted many a happy day,Yet still we bid the moments swiftly fly And hail the hour which sees us on our way. Safely returned well count our hardships sweet, And looked for dangers but a calm repose,And ever as such friends well always meet, And thus remain until our lives shall Homeward Bound.
