CALLED AWAY. Copyright, 1885, by Willis Woodward & Co. 
By a cottage in the twilight Stands a soldier and a maid, Solemn words are being spoken. For his country needs his aid; Down her cheeks the tears are streaming, Tremblingly she bids him stay, Sadly, firmly comes the answer, Maggie, dear, I'm called away. 
Chorus. Good-bye. Maggie, good-bye, darling, Tbo' I fain would with thee stay; Tis decreed that I must leave thee, Maggie, dear, I'm called away. 
There has been a fearful conflict, Victory has been nobly won. And a youthful soldier's" dying E'er his life has well begun; Comrade, he is feebly saving. I shall never live 'till day. If you're spared to see my darling. Tell her I was called away.-Chorus.
