Excerpt from 1861-1865; The Brave Who Died Not in Vain: A Poem Again we unfurl the banner and sing the song of praise, Of a nation we are allied to from our earliest childhood days. OD does give God does take But does this Union not forsake The battle of our earliest youth Was fought for Liberty and Truth. In eighteen sixty-one came the call, Fall in, ye sons, one and all Your country's safety is at stake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
