Of thee I sing;
Land where my father's died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,

Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;

My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And. ring from all the trees '
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake, .

Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Another Beautiful Tribute to Lieuten
; ant Burford
.The following from the pen of Miss
Jefferson Bell appeared in the Miami
Herald: ""
vJri, a darkened home at Ocala a
mother lies Utterly crushed and brok
en and a father mourns the death of a
dearly loved son, dead on the field of
honor,, his-young life ended by a Ger
man bullet on the fields of France. iS
, Wiley Haralson Burford was tHe
first officer from sFlorida to give his
life for the great! cause. He was one
of f the first to offer for service ana
entered the first training camp for
officers. It was with, a personal sense
of loss the news of his death came to
one, who knew him as a fair-haired
child, .the joy and life of. the home,
and later as a young, man of brilliant
achievement and promise, always loy
al, fine arid (brave. He was ordered
to t France . immediately after He was
commissioned' a second lieutenant at
Fort McPhersori and assigned to ac
tive,, jduty with the field artillery,
American expeditionary forces. After
s)x rHohtJisof training in France his
command went to the front, his bat
tery being tlj.e first to take up a posi
tion .arid the second to fire upon the
enemy;.,, ...-., ... , .
t The . news of his death has brought
t',, Florida '.a sickening sense of th
ster, reality of the war, which has
seemed .far away and all glitter and
glory. It is from the youth and flower
of the, nation war will take its grjm
tol and ( tliere will be other , darkened
homes and mothers weeping, for their
sons sleeping afar on" foreign fields.,,
a One , cau almost envy , .. the young
hero, tHe immortal fame that is his., It
is thrilling to think t of .him going
forth, like a young crusader to do, bat
tle withthe modern : incarnations ,of
eyUbackirig his faith in. the right
eousness of his tcause with his life.
To have died in the flush of youth for
a; great, aiise ist glorious .. , ,
"Men die but once, and the opportu-
. nitv . C; :.
O f a noble, death is not an everyday
Of a noTale death is not an everyday
It is a gift noble spirits pray for."
