99. the sons of old Luzerne. by M. L. T. Hartman. All honor to our Luzerne boys, Who volunteered to save our land! Who left kind friends and fireside joys, To join the patriotic band. When freedom's blast was issued forth From our Republic's capitol, And woke the millions of the North To answer to their country's call-- Then Luzerne's noble sons it found, Immersed in trade; in works of skill; In the deep mines; in lore profound; In pleading law, for others' will; In farming, too, were many mhonest, patriot pride. Mothers and sisters said “Good-bye,” And bade them ne'er to treason bend; And wives, though with a tearful eye, Said, “Go, our Union's flag defend.” Our noble braves we love and bless; We think of them with glowing pride; Their valor will insure success; Their virtues pure will e'er abide. God bless and save our Luzerne boys! Keep them when on the tented field; Grant them the purest of all joys; In battle's roar from danger shield. --Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Advocate,
