Text Appearing Before Image:
ther he let them pass,Then fastened the meadow-bars again. Under the willows, and over the hill. He patiently followed their sober pace;The merry whistle for once was still. And something shadowed the sunny face. Only a hoy! and his lather had saidlie never could let his youngest go: Two already were lying dead Under the feet of the trampling foe. Hut after the evening work was done. And the frogs were loud in the meadow-swamp. Over his shoulder he slung his gun, And stealthily followed the foot-path damp. Across the clover, and through the wheat. With resolute heart and purpose grim.Though cold was the dew on his hurrying feet. And the blind hats Hitting startled him. Thrice since then had the lanes been white. And the orchards sweet with apple-bloom;And now. when the cows came back at night. The feeble father drove them home. For news had come to the lonely farm That three were lying where two had lain; And the old mans tremulous, palsied armCould never lean on a sons again. I 236 1

t OF REVIEWS CO. IN WASHINGTONS CHIEFEST AVENUEThus appeared the crowds that greeted the army whose home-coming inspired Brel Hartespoem. From thesteps of the Treasury building the impatienl people gaze down Pennsylvania Avenue on the morning of June8, 18(i.5, awaiting the march of the Sixth Corps of the Army of the Potomac, which had been prevented byduty in Virginia From participating in the Grand Review of May 23rd. The scene is similar. The women andchildren in the foreground, the senators and important citizens in silk hats, the throng Surging far out intothe street beneath the fluttering banners, Ihe general restlessness and impatience are the same as on the earlierand more famous gala occasion. The pomp and panoply of war are here in the parades and the blare 01trumpets and the admiring hosts that line the street not in the actual service in Ihe field. Harle writes otactual warfare as a sad business, which only the preservation of a nations existence or honor can justify. e-sC
