“Back of the boy is Wilson,
Pledge of his high degree,
Back of the boy is Lincoln,
Lincoln and Grant and Lee;
Back of the boy is Jackson,
Jackson and Tippecanoe,
Back of each son is Washington,
And the old red, white and blue!”

I have watched their homeward tread,
And they brought back bodies of living men,
But their eyes were fold and dead.

I want you to come back thru The Flame
With the boy-look still in your eyes!”
