Memorial ode. [Read before the Grand Army Posts of Boston, Mass., on Memorial Day, May 30, 1881, by Mr. George Riddle.] I. Oy to the three-hilled city!--for each year Heals something of the grief this day records; Each year the plaintive lay Sounds yet more far away, And strains of triumph suit memorial words. The old-time pang becomes a thrill of joy; Again we turn the page Of our heroic age, And read anew the tale of every patriot boy. A modest courage was their simple wont, The dauntless youths who grew to manhood here: Putnam and Savage, Perkins and Revere. It needs no helmet's gleam, No armor's glittering beam, No feudal imagery of shield or spear To gild the gallant deeds that roused us then,-- When Cass fell dying in the battle's front, And Shaw's fair head lay 'mid his dusky men. II. All o'er the tranquil land On this Memorial Day, Coming from near and far, Men gather in the mimic guise of war. They bear no polished steel, Yet by the elbow's touch they march, they w

again, though now men's blood be cooled, Through the long vista of the fading years To days when Sumner spoke, and Andrew ruled. IV. Courage is first and last of what we need To mould a nation for triumphal sway: All else is empty air, A promise vainly fair, Like the bright beauty of the ocean spray Tossed up toward heaven, but never reaching there. Not in the past, but in the future, we Must seek the mastery Of fate and fortune, thought and word and deed. Gone, gone for aye, the little Puritan homes; Gone the beleaguered town, from out whose spires Flashed forth the warning fires Telling the Cambridge rustics, “Percy comes!” And gone those later days of grief and shame When slavery changed our court-house to a jail, And blood-drops stained its threshold. Now we hail, After the long affray, A time of calmer order, wider aim, More mingled races, manhood's larger frame, A city's broader sweep, the Boston of to-day. V. They say our city's star begins to wane, Our heroes pass away

A little while is gone Since, the last battle fought, the victory won, We saw sweet Peace come back with all her charms, And watched a million men lay down their arms.
