Poem
tribute to Thomas William Brewer
by Thirza Brewer Blades, 1871
to J. F. Brewer, February 13, 1901
shared by Sharon Moore
Our Sire whose love for native land
was dearer than his life
went to defend the dear old flag
and fell in deadly strife.
At Vicksburg, in a soldier's grave,
he sleeps the last long sleep,
and scattered far and wide are those
he left to work and weep.
