THE SOLDIERS GRAVE.
Night winds are mournfulIy sweepine.
Whispering oak-branches wave
Where your loved ashes are sleeping,
Form OF the true and the bl ave-
Silence reigns breathless around you
All your stern conflicts are DER,
Deep is the sleep that hath bound you,
Trumpet shall rouse you no more.
Sweet and serene be your slumber;
Hearts for whose freedom you bled,
Millions whom no man can number,
Tears Of sad gratitude shed.
Never shall morn, brightly breaking,
Enter your chamber Of gloom,
Till the last trumpet awaking
Sounds through the depths Of the tomb.
AT THE CEMETERY.
