I131 MEN IN ALL! TALWART youths they left us, Stalwart, and immune to fear; Brave lads, they knew no other course, Than that which martyrdom has marked her own, That those who traverse her craggy paths, A living hero or a martyr end withal. God-fearing, they left us, Goci-fearing and strong of heart; Brave men, some died ere clarion call Had summoned them to face the common foe; And others gave the life of all beloved On the held of honor that makes of youth a man. Brave men, they returned to us again, Not free from any mark of victoryts price, Nor bereft of dutyts sacrificial teachings; They returned to us a newer kind, men in all! Men in all, nor estranged from joyous youth, Men in all, nor possessed of subtle minds, But men in the beauty of thought, Who heard; call to duty, And to interpret did not stop! Yes, those who fell in freedom,s ranks, And those who lived therein are men in all! V. BEISSINGER, ,20.
