LL silent in the month of May— A brave salute and rightly given— More silent than the deeps beyond ‘The harmless volley's echoing sound The space that holds the blue and gray That breaks the noontide deeps of heaven Tn comradeship on level ground. And rolls along the level ground, A slant of sunshine thro’ the grass, Who knows what cohorts of the dead The violet's hood of white and blue, May answer in salute sublime, The blithe birds’ notes that shake and pass And wake with potent martial tread And melt thro’ memory's morn like dew ; ‘The ringing corridors of time?
