Swing broken boughs forever in the breeze;
Where staring owl and screechlng birds or prey
Flap dusky wings in hunger, Right ana day

No grass grows on the sp Ot so deeply drenched
In blood, too quickly nom the warm heart
Wrenched
And the Scared face OF fffnty hearted rocks,
Tells the wild havoc of the battles shock
The merry little bin DIS fit far away
No fragrant flowers are there TO bid them stay
Forever hangs a daTK funeral cloud
A blot on Natures say, a battle-shroud :"
