'5l?all Our Old piftietl; Be por^ot." 
 
 Dedicated to the Old Blind Half Hundred. 
 
 By Mrs. Capt. John M Cvrus. 
 
 Shall OUT Old Fiftieth he forgot 
 
 And never brought to mind? 
 The toils, the fiery rain of shot 
 
 They faced ivitti courage Mind? 
 
 Shall those who helped to save the land 
 
 Unhonored stand to-day? 
 Shall men of that heroic band' 
 
 For our poor homage pray ? 
 
 Shall we forget those cots of pain ? 
 
 The marches long and drear? 
 'J^'eath burning sun or pelting rain 
 
 When gone seemed ev'ry cheer? 
 
 Shall IV e forget those others too ? 
 
 Who silent 'round us stand? 
 Tho' lost to touch and loving view, 
 
 They're here a mighty band. 
 
 A roll-call in our hearts is said 
 
 And ev'ry answer's clear. 
 For those the thoughtless world calls dead 
 
 Are meeting with us here. 
 
 Then in our galaxy of fame, 
 
 'Mong bravest boys in blue 
 In pride and gratitude we name 
 
 Our Fiftieth grand and true.
