They will come back singly and in pairs. We cannot receive them all at once, but we can show each fellow when he gets back that we take an interest in him. And then, at last, when all are home we must have one grand night of feasting and they shall sit together at one table and the rest of us will look at them and say These are the boys from Ottawa and Franklin county who answered their country's call."

We come To arms, the speedy call, This is no time to sleep The fight's by land and air and sea, But we must crush the foe, This is a fight for Liberty, The Black Boys said, "Let's Go." They asked for prayer to make them strong A little word of cheer Determined victory they meant, These boys who knew no fear. Old Glory ne'er must touch the ground For it their blood would flow.

But they immortalized the words When called, and said Let's Go. The Negro soldier fought and fell With others true and brave On foreign field, from home aud friends, He fills a Hero's grave. And on the firing line was he When God seem'd to say "No." Yes, ready to be offered up, And with the words Let's Go. What doth he ask not vain applause, Nor lame, nor medal bright, Nor empty honor, glorious name that, was not the fight. He only asks for what he fought, And what the world would know; Just that for which he offered life When called, and said, Let's Go.
