Poems (Proctor)/Hushed are the bugles that called to the strife
Hushed are the bugles that called to the strife;Silent the cannon that roared with the fray;Gloom is forgotten in fulness of life;Freedom and Peace are our treasures to-day.Flag of our Fathers! thy stars shall not wane!Glory attend thee on ocean and shore!Float o'er the Free from the Gulf to the main;God shall defend thee till states are no more!
