Excerpt from The Schoolmates, or Mary Howard: An Epic of the War of 1861-5K soldier's life, unlike the day, Is measured not by glowing sun, For oft, ere morn has passed away, Life with its noblest work is done. Thus brightest day or darkest night, Must find him still with purpose high, Prompt to engage the fiercest fight, Or in the forlorn hope to die. Thus on the altar life is laid, Himself a willing sacrifice, Only on earth perchance repaid Should peace o'er death's dark shadows rise.Oft have I seen brave comrades die, Som'e scarred and broken homeward gone, Ranks battle thinned, as years pass by, And still the war goes on and on.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
