BUGLE CALLS.
Reveille.
A stillness as of death the air per
vades.
Well nigh unnatural is this hush of
dawn.
When quickly dart the sunbeams from
the rising orb^
And all the world awakens to an
other morn.
As if to hail the sunbeams there rings
clear
Upon the morning air the bugle’s
silver blast,
Quickly the cry is taken up, now far,
now near,
Each bugler eager not to be the last
To rouse the sluggard from his pleas
ant couch,
And tell them all another day is
born—
Another day with all its cares,
Its inspirations and its duties to per
form.
Retreat.
Our work and play are done,
And as the sun goes down,
“Retreat” sounds shrilly to our ears.
And now to jolly supper
When the ’lectric lights are lit.
And each one to his sorrow hears his
“rams” read out.
Before we are called to quarters j
When our lessons are begun,
Just right after supper’s when we have
our little fun:
We visit with our fellows,
And recount the day’s events,
And learn the fun that’s happened
to each one—
Who the “Bull” teased in “Bull ticks,”
And the jokes “Doc” cracked in
“Vet,”
Was there only time to listen
We’d be there laughing yet—
There goes “Call-to-Quarters,”
And we scuttle to our rooms }
To study up our lessons or the mor
row.
Taps.
After all our studyin’s done,
And all the weary sentinels
From their posts have come, i
We crawl into our beds,
And lay down our weary heads.
Thankful for another day’s race run.
Then they slowly blow the call.
The saddest of them all,
“Sweet dreams” “Taps” calls to
every one.
—Metcalfe.
!“It’s a wild night at sea,” said the
rummy,
As he dodged the autos and cars,
'“And it makes me feel queer in my
tummy
When the schooners are crossing
the bars.”
During the heavy rain which fell just
before dinner call on the second day
of the hike Count Runge, as usual,
equal to all emergencies, appeared at
tired in a blue bathing suit. “Hey!
fellows, come on to dinner; don’t mind
the rain.” The Count shows good
form, to say the least.
Preacher: “I am sorry to keep you
so long, but I am talking for the bene
fit of posterity.”
Cadet (suffering from insomnia):
“If you keep on much longer they will
be here to hear you.”
