He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
\nWill stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
\nAnd rouse him at the name of All Souls.
\nHe that shall live this day, and see old age,
\nWill yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
\nAnd say \u2018To-morrow is All Souls:\u2019
\nThen will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
\nAnd say \u2018These wounds I had on All Soul\u2019s day.\u2019
\nOld men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
\nBut he\u2019ll remember with advantages
\nWhat feats he did that day: then shall our names.
\nFamiliar in his mouth as household words
\nMaddon the Coach, Baez and Zobrist,
\nRussell and Rizzo, Montero and Heyward,
\nBe in their flowing cups freshly remember\u2019d.
\nThis story shall the good man teach his son;
\nAnd All Souls Day shall ne\u2019er go by,
\nFrom this day to the ending of the world,
\nBut we in it shall be remember\u2019d;
\nWe few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
\nFor he to-day that sheds his blood with me
\nShall be my brother; be he ne\u2019er so vile,
\nThis day shall gentle his condition:
\nAnd gentlemen in Chicago now a-bed
\nShall think themselves accursed they were not here,
\nAnd hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
\nThat fought with us upon All Soul\u2019s day.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
