And the sigh Of the wounded in anguish,
With silent prayer was blended,
There youth and age together lay,
Martyrs in one great cause;
Defenders of our Government
And instituted Laws.
There were some from the gallant Banner
State,
And some from Virginia's shore,
Some from the verdant growing fields,
Where 0hio's waters doth roar;
Some came from illinois, plains,
And from Kentucky fair,
But all as brothers united,
And suffering from pain lay there.
The glorious sun was sinking low,
And its faint, quiyering light,
Seemed 10th to bid farewell to day,
And greet the coming night.
It gayly fitted o'er the room,
And fingered round the place
Where lay pale, yet prineely form,
With calm and noble face
His left arm placed beneath his head,
His dark eye brightly CLEANED,
And DER his pale and marble brow
His auburn ringlets streamed.
Fell trembling from his tongue,
As if with pain he long had striven,
That hero fair and young.
He restless turned his gaze around
To where youthful form was lying,
Moaning and writhing in his pain,
For The Ohio boy was dying.
His eye long rested on the youth,
Perhaps he thought of his home,
Then he heaTed piteous sigh,
And again was heard to moan.
A comrade watched beside his couch,
And pity swelled his breast;
He bent above the pallid face
The trembling wrist he pressed.
"What will you have" the eomrade asked
In accents soft and mild,
The sufferer raised his mournful eyes
Unite his face and smiled.
His trembling lips he moved and spoke,
His voice was clear and deep;
"Sit down beside my pillow, Frank,
And watch me while sleep.D
The gentle sufferers eyes were closed.
The soldier took his seat,
Leaning his head upon his hands,
He sat in silence deep.
The bright sun had majestically
Sank in the golden west.
Still the brave soldier sat and watched
Beside his eomrade's rest.
The night wore on, the clock struck nine,
And still the sufferer slept;
The watchers thoughts rosmed far away,
While he his vigil kept.
And now the glistening tears rolled down
Upon his swarthy cheek,
But hark, he hears whispering sound,
The sleeper strives tospeak.
The watcher bent above his form,
A smile was on his face,
And in the glimmering light he wore
A look Of girlish grace.
HGod bless you," came in whispers low,
His look was calm and fair,
The watcher could not wake linn,
For he knew his dream was rare.
The clock struck ten, the dreamer roused.
And vaken'd at the sound,
He raised his head and silently
He gaZed en- all around.
sHow have yea slept" the watcher said,
aYour rest did happy SEEM"
90, yes, it truly happy was,
/ had pleasant dream"
Give me some water, Frank" he said,
aAnd then sit down beside me,
While / relate it unto you
It was so sweet to me"
He drank the water to the dregs,
Hiseye did brightly gleam,
The eonrade took his seat to hear
The sufferers happy dream;

~I dreamed / wss at my happy home.

AT dreamed was at my happy home
And with the friends love,
Ixandered with my sister
Through the dear old Locust Grove.
eI fbousht I saw another form
You know her very we'll
Iyisited the dear old brick
Wherein she used to dwell
tI,ourht that you were there, Frank,
And walking by your side
saw your own sweet little Nav,
Your broken hearted bride.
She looked as last I saw her,
When she bade me stand BY you,
And If we came in battle,
She bade me see you through.
Now Frank / know my time has come,
And you'll be left alone,
But say these words unto my friends,
If e'er you reach my home:
He died for his dear country's good,
His soul has gone TO God,
His name is numbered with the brsve,
His FORMS beneath the sod.
Tell Leila my last thoughts were of her,
wished tosee her 90,
Tell her died in purest faith,
Fully prepared to 60.
Tell my Captain remember him,
For his kindness unto me,
And hope in Paradise above
His radient face to see.
Tell him his good advice to me
Was never thrown away,
And In the fearful pangs Of death
Ithelped me on the way.
Give my last love to all the boys,
Tell them to brayely fight,
And mind what Captain Sidney says,
For he will do what's right.
Tell Corporal Hayes to think Of me,
When mid the cannon's roar,
Tell him to mend his wicked ways
And never swear no more.
Farewell, dear Frank, I'm going fast,
All things sink from my sight,
Strive hard to meet me, dearest friend,
In that pure world of light.
Take care of my old mother, Frank,
If you survive this strife,
May heavens blessings rest on you
Through long and happy life.
Now let me sleep again, Frank,
And watch beside my head,
For when the morning sun shines bright
Edward will then Be dead"
o'clock struck twelve, his eyes were close
His breath came hard and deep,
The watcher bent his weary head,
And soon was fast asleep.
The morning sun rose slowly up.
And filed the room with light,
Ger the low couch the watcher bent
And gazed upon the sight.
There lay the form so deadly pale,
But life had calmly fed,
And now upon the humble couch
The Patriot youth lay DEAD.
