There's white stone placed upon yondsr
tomb,
Beneath IS soldier living:
,rbe death. wound came amid sword and plume.
SWaen banner and bali were dying.
Yet nov he sleeps. the turf on his breast,
BY wet wild flowers surrounded:
The chnrch shadow falls o'er bis place of rest,
Where she steps Of his childhood bounded.
Tshece were tears that fell from manly eyes,
There was woman's gentler weeping,
And the wailing Of age and infant cries,
Ger the grave where he lies sleeping.
He had ief his home in his spirits pride,
With hi, fatner's sword and blessing;
He stood with the valiant side by side.
His country's wrongs redressing.
He came again, in the light Of his fame,
When the red campaign was over:
One heart that in secret had kept his name,
Was claimed BY the soldier lover.
Butthe cloud Of stnfe came upon the sky:
He left his sweet home for battle:
And his young child's lisp for the loud war.
cry,
And che cannon's long death.rattle.
He came sgain--but an altered man:
The path Of the grave was before him,
And the smile that he wore was cold and wan,
For the shadow OF death hung DER him.
He spoke of victory--spoke of cheer
These are words that are vsinly spoken
To the childless mother or orphsn'sear,
Or the widow whose heart is broken.
A helmet and sword are engraved onthe stone,
Haifhidden bv yonaer willow:
There he sleeps. whose death in battle was won.
But who died on his own home pillow.
