The
Last Old Soldier.
Say
boys, have you heard what the newspapers say:
One
hundred and fifty soldiers a day.
Footsore
and weary have dropped out at last,
Back
on the road where the column has passed?
Every
week -- seven days -- keep the number in mind,
Another
full regiment lagging behind;
We
bid them "good bye" with a tear and a song,
And
the column keeps steadily marching along.
Every
three weeks, another brigade
Back
in the quiet old churchyard is laid;
One
look at the spot where they peacefully sleep,
And
each to his place in the column must keep.
Sixty
days, a division forever at rest,
No
pickets thrown out, no foe will molest;
And
let it be morning, at
The
column moves on and is soon out of sight.
Every
six months, a full army corps
Goes
into camp on the furthermore shore,
No
break in the column, the evening is damp,
But
never mind, boys, we'll soon be camp.
Soon
there will be but an invalid's corps,
Of
an army that numbered two millions or more;
A
division, a brigade, then a regiment small,
Too
feeble to note when a comrade shall fall.
At
last but a company, then a platoon,
A
few struggles left, then soon; Oh, how soon,
They
will read this small item: the news came today,
The
last old soldier has just passed away.

and he is getting along all right at this writing.
