The early dawn was breaking
On Gettysburgs sad plain,
When broken-hear.ed mother
Was wandering mid the slain,
Seeking for her only son,
Who in the dreadful frav
Had fallen with the woui. ded
In the carnage Of that day.
The glorious sun was rising
In grand ur. peace and power,
But needing not its beauty
In the ang uish Of the hour,
She bent her weuried footsteps
Toward lonely dell,
Where for our glorious Union
A soldier fighting fell.
She heard moaning sound,
A stititd, iteblcd cry,
"Wa,er oh give me drink,
Before | FAINT aud die"
The voice too well she knew,
Frantic she turned TO run;
Oh, God the dreadful sight

Some water quick she placed,
With kisses to his lips;
Alas! too late, his eyes are closed,
He gasping, dying sirs;
And kneeling, praying Ger him,
In agony she cried
One look, my son, my son!
In his mothers arms he diedl
