UPPER EAGLE CREEK
Farewell, dear fath^rlaml, clime of the
nun curt' hh '<1,
lVarl of the Orient scan, our Kden lost;
Gladly now 1 go to give thee this faded
life'« bent.
And were It brighter, fresher or more
blest
Still would I give It thee, nor count the
coat.
Let the sun draw Its vapors up to the Hky,
And heavenward In purity hear my tardy
protest;
X»et some kind soul o’ er my untimely fate
cry.
And In the still evening a prayer be lifted
on high.
From thee, O my country, that In God I
may rest.
On the field of battle, 'midst the frenzy of
fight.
Others have given their lives without
doubt or heed;
The place matters not— cypress or laurel
or lily white,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyr­
dom's plight,
'Tin ever the same, to nerve our home and
country’s need.
,
Pray for all those that hapless have died,
For all who have suffered the unmeasur’d
pain;
For our mothers that bitterly their woes
have cried,
For widows and orphans, for captives by
torture tried;
And then for thyself that redemption thou
may'st gain.
And
I die Just when I sec the dawn break
Through the gloom of night, to herald the
day
And If color Is lacking my blood thou
shalt take,
Four’ d out at need for thy dear sake.
To dye with Me crimson thy waking ray
My dreams, when life first opened to me.
My dreams, when the hopes of youth heat
high.
Were to see thy love I face. O gem of Ihe
Orient sea.
From gloom arid grief, from care and
sorrow free;
K’ o blush on thy brow, no tear In thine
eye
. Preuni of my life, my living and burning
d e s ir e ,
All hall' cries the soul that is now to take
n ig h t ;
All hall! V ml sweet It Is for thee to expire!
To die for thy oako that thou may'st
aspire;
And lie n In thy bosom eternity’s long
night
If over my grave some day thou seest
grow
In the grassy sod. a humble (lower,
{•raw it to thy lips and kiss my soul no.
While I may feel on my brow In the cold
toiuli I flow
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's
warm flower,
l.el
the moon beam over me soft and
serene,
l ¿ml the dawn shed over me Its radiant
flashes.
Let the wind with sad lament over me
keen;
And If on my cross a bird should he seen,
I.ot It thrill there Its hymn of peuce to my
ashes.
when the dark night wraps the
graveyard around,
With only the dead In their vigil to see;
Break not my repose or the mystery
profound,
And perchance thou may'st hear a sad
hymn resound;
’TIs 1, o my country, raising a song unto
t h< e
When even my grave Is remembered no
U tOI e
IJnmark’d by never a cross or a stone;
Let the plow sweep through It, the spade
turn It o’er,
That my ashes may carpet th y'ea rth ly
floor,
Before Into nothingness at last they are
flown.
Then will oblivion bring me no care,
As o\er thy \ales and plains I sweep.
Throbbing and cleansed In thy space and
air.
W ith color and light, with song and
lament I fare.
Evsr repeating the faith that I keep.
My fatherland adored, that sadness to my
sorrow lends,
Beloved Klltpinns, hear now my last
goodbye.
I give thee all: parents and kindred and
friends;
For I go where no slave before tho
oppressor bends.
Where faith can never kill, and God
reigns e'er on high.

Farewell, father and mother atul brothers
dear friends of the fireside!
Thankful ye should be for me that I re»~*
at the end of the long day.
Farewell, sweet, from the stranger's lano.
my Joy and my comrade!
Farewell, dear ones, farewell! To die Is
to rest from our labors!

Dingy rooms dampen many a housewife’s
interest in the home.
Keeping the woodwork, walls, floors ami
furniture looking bright and new helps to
make her home life well worth while.
A few dollars spent for F E L L E R Prod­
