The Soldiers Craze.

Tread lightly-'tis q soldiers grave,
A lonely, mossy mound
And yet, to hearts like mine and thine
1t should be holy ground.
Speak softly-let no careless laugh,
No idle, thonghtless jest,
Escape your lips, where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.
For him no rcveille shall beat
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night no tattoo rolls
Its thunder from the drum.
No costly marble marks the place
Recording deeds of fame,
But rlidely on that bonding tree
Is carved the soldiers name.
A name-not dear to us-but ah
There may be lips that breathe
That name as sacredlv and low
AS vesper prayers at eve.
There may be brows that wear for him
The mourning cypress vine;
And hearts that make this lonely grave
A holy pilgrim shrine.
There may be eyes that joyed to gaze
With love into his own,
Now keeping midnight vigils long
With silent grief alone.
There may be hands now claspcd in PRAYER
This soldiers hand has pressed;
And cheeks washed pale by sorrows tears,
His own cold cheek caressed.
Tread lightly-for man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
Bis ashes to his native land,
His gallant soul to God!
