GOING AND COMING.
Home!
Whether on earth or whether in heaven,
Where lips may touch or prayers arise,
Honor and praise to their names be given
Under the sun or above the skies.
Till the jubilant air shall rise and swell
With strong full shouts of the heart's delight,
Welcome with clangor of cannon and bell
The bronze-brown heroes of field and fight
