The joyous cannon hail thee: The singing trumpets silvery tones attestThat all bid the war-tried patriot welcome; Rest! soldier, rest! Not now the drenching rain, the weary marching; No fierce besiegers now thy valor test:No bursting shells—guerrilla raids at midnight;Rest! soldier, rest! Not here the flashing of the foemans sabre; Not here the wide ranks kneel to Deaths behest:Naught but the glance of bright eyes kindly beaming;Rest! soldier, rest! Not here the whistling of the leaden death-shots— Tis but the oriole singing oer her nest;The waving tree-tops whispering peace and quiel : Rest! soldier, rest !Sec yon fair wife, a white-armed welcome waving! No longer now by deadly fear opprest :What heavenly music is that dear voice savin,; ?Rest! soldie
