Hut a crown, jewel-studded, could not buy it to-day,<br />

With its letters of honor, brave " Company K."<br />

Bright eyes have looked calmly its visor beneath,<br />

O'er the mark of the reaper, grim harvester death.<br />

Let the muster roll meagre so mournfuPy say<br />

How foremost in danger was "' Company K."<br />

Who faltered or shivered? Who shunned battle stroke?<br />

Whose fire was uncertain? Whose battle-line broke?<br />

Go ask it of history, years from to-day<br />

.\nd the record shall tell you, not " Company K."<br />

Though my darling is sleeping to-day with the dead<br />

.\nd daisies and clover bloom over his head,<br />

I smile through my tears as I lay it away,<br />

That liattle-worn cap lettered " Company K.''<br />
