NY BROTHERS, GRAVE.

,,es written ON the death of Henry Daniels, o
Eden, who enlisted IN tne "a w. les"'
and died March 25th lSo2.
I've breathed no sigh, shed no tear,
Where brother takes his rest
I've never knelt upon the sod
That lies above his breast.
He sleeps afar from childhood's home,
Mid strangers graves-alone.
And the, who pass that lowly mound
Repeat the ord-''unknown.
Unknown to them the mothers hopes
That centered once in him;
Unknown to them the sisters love.
Not death itself can dim.
O. could we but have closed his eyes
Received his parting breath;
And heard him speak one kind good bye
Before he slept in DEATH
1t would have been pleasure sad,
To have treasured up the scene;
A painful lesson fraught with good,
For memory's hand to CLEAN.
We cannot place one fowery wreath,
Embalmed in sorrows tear;
To breathe its last sweet fragrance out
Above the lost and dear.
Yet will the moonlight, soft and pure
His couch with beauty lave;
And angels from their starry home,
Keep watch Ger BRoTHER's GRAVE.
