ord from the tribute that is his right For his valiant deeds midst the stirring flght. All honor his due! But—forget not those Who have lived and died where the traffic flovvTS. No martial strains their battles inspire;The pound and hiss of the great steel flyerSpeeding along through the dreary night.While the hours drag in their leaden flight.Is the only song the trainman knowsWho fights and dies where the traffic flows. When the moons cold rays grow dim and paleAnd the lightning leaps oer the glistening rail;When the sharp sleet furrows each eager face.As oer the mountains and hills they race;Ah! dreary indeed are the battles of thoseWho have served and died where the traffic flows. Poets of chivalrys knights may sing.Their fancy to brilliant heights take wing.But we shall strive in our feeble wayTo tell of the heroism night and dayOf the valorous Knights of Work, of thoseWho have gone to death where the traffic flows. —BiHimore tfc Ohio Employe. •5- — ^M ^ ift S7Mii(fi:s^p^
