on GUARD.
AZ midnight, on my losely beat,
When shadow wraps the wood and lea,
vision seems my view to greet
or one At home who prsys for me
No roses blow upon her check
Her form Is not lovers dream
But on her face so fair and meek,
host Of holier beauties CLEAN.
For softly shines her silver hair,
patient smile Is on her face,
And the mild, lustrous light Of PRAYER
Arosnd her sheds moon-iike grace.
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier In hi~ holy fight---
And begs that Heaven In mercy NAV
Protect her boy and bless the Right.
Till, though the leagues lie far between,
This silent ine7nse Of ber heart
Steals Der my soul, with breath syfenei
And We no longer are apart
So guarding thus my lonely beat,
By shadowy wood and haunted lea.
That vision seems my view TO greet
OF her at hcme who prays for me.
