THE SOLDIERS WIDOW.

And kissed his paIlid brow
She vainIy pressed his icy hand
Hs cannot heed her now.
She calls his name in accents low,
Her tears are on his face
He speaks not, moves not, tor he lies
In dealh's last cold embrace.
They tell her that the angels wait
10 bear him to bis rest:
She hears Them not she Only strives
To clasp HIM 10 her breast.
She only knows that he has been
The sunlight of her home
she only feels that she is lesi
To walk the world alone.
Where is the hand that streweG he. path
So lovingly with flowers
Where is the heart that cIung to hers

That hand is cold, thai heart is still,
Her dream of love ia DER;
And now, upon this dreary earth,
They'll cheer her path no more
