SACRED TO THE MEMORY
of WILLIE s. MoRRrsos. Co. L. 7th, o. V. C,
God has sent rest to the weary young life,
Led him away from oppression and wrong
Opened his eyes in the City Of light,
/ Taught him to join in the angels song.
Breaking the prison bars Of his soul,
By suffering refined and made pure,
| Risen triumphantly o'es death and the grave
No more Of earth's Is to endure.
4 Soon DER his breast will the long grass wave
And flowers their beauty display
The Summers night Develops be there,
When "rosy dapn" heralds the day.
Let ought, but the vice Of bird music
Break upon the sweet calm of the air,
Or soft sigh of mournful love,
When the twilight is gathering there.
