Ger lonely grave
Wild flowers wave,
In the sweet prime
OF summer time.
The air is ringing
With happy singing
From boughs o'erhead.
Whose shade is spread
Der the turf beneath,
Der the sleep of Death.
And silently
The stream goes by.
In far home
Der the ses-foam.
The household light
CLOVIS clear and bright.
Sister, mother.
The son, the brother,
Ye watch for nightly
So, the light CLEANS brightly.
Now, from each heart
Slowly shall part,
Like waning day,
The hope away.
The shadowy fear,
This shall be near,
Darkening each smile
On your lips the while.
From troubled sleep
We shall start, TO weep;
Weeping to pray,
For one far away
Till from each heart
Slowly shall part,
Like waning day,
The light away.

The melody is one often sung among the
negroes; and one which, from its tenderness
and pathos, is a favorite among them. As oil
will find its way into crevices where water can
not penetrate, so song will find its way where
speech can no longer enter, The moon shone
full on the face Of the dying girl, only inter
rupted by Pickering shadows Of leaves and,
