HIS NAME IS KNOWN
dedicated to the
UNKNOWN SOLDIER
To-day-we laid our boy to rest;
He sleeps in honor with the best
In Arlington, where heroes come
With silence—to their final tomb.
We gave him medals, tears, and flowers,
To shew the world, that he was ours
Kin, flesh and blood, and sinew too;
MY COUNTRY-hush he died for you.
With eye of faith, we pierce the gloom
And scale the heights, beyond the tomb;
The Better Land, Our Saviour's home;
Our boy is safe, his NAME IS KNOWN.
