' TwlVliY."
TO NORTHERN FRIENDS.
BY MARY T.. T'CKKH, OP OEOnOTA.
When you sing your pons pf Victor,
Exulting in your pride.
That your brave and gallant warrior9
Again nrc by your side,
Pause, and think 1ml for a moment
Of (behind beyond the ton,
Where the hearts throb wildly, madly
At your ecng of " Victory."
Think of desolated homesteads
In tho conquered Southern land,
And the gaunt and meagre famine,
Thai lias severed kindred baud
Then let your voices soften,
Think of those beyond the sea,
And let words of pity minglo
With your cry of " Victory."
Think of thoso who now nrc Bleeping
In their lonely unknown graves,
Eespect their memory, they fell
For freedom, and were braves.
AU ! ninny hearts are mourning North ;
But, oh ! beyond the s-a
The unhealed nounlis opened, nt
Your song of " Victory."
We hail, too, a flag we cherished,
But it is forever furled ;
And it bears no stain upon it
As wo show it to the world.
Save a nation's lack of numbers
In the land beyond the sea
We fought for freedom, you but fought
To win the "Victory ! "
You gained it ; now let charity
Your better natures move,
And change your song oi " Victory"
Into a song of Love.
Then reunited by love's bonds
Each voice beyond the sea
Will swell the chorus long and loud
Of your song "Victory."
