Patriotic Poems

May we all who have never for America even one drop bled
Hear at once the horn’s song sung for each of freedom’s dead:
And awed, may we the living resolve to stand for which they fell
And to each with courage until our grave the cost of liberty tell.
____

What thoughts were last in the minds of two -
So brave who fought, then heard, and knew
Their lives were not by evil in Benghazi taken,
But left alone, outnumbered and forsaken?
____

I hear coming - the hooves,
and I hear shouting from the roofs;
coming quick, and coming near,
rides again a Paul Revere -
he comes at night for the right
to live as good souls might

from free mens' lips, the bell's a'ringing;
and in my heart, I am recalling
all those freed by those now fallen
