WEARING OF THE BLUE.
A True story.


1t is twilight in the village
OF quiet northern town
While the moon IN wOndrOus beauty
From her azure height looks down.
sitting by nm open easement
is maiden fair aud true,
Dreaming of II dark eyed lover
Who is wearing OF the blue.
Looking out into the shadows,
As the breeze waits gently by,
Thinking OF the last sad parting,
Brings tear drop to her eye.
And her heart is filled with sadness
Does the impress DER her steal,
Telling her of coming danger,
And the sicb cning truth reveal
Far away, gone forth to battle,
Nee ing Toes upon the field.
Manly hearts that knew no terror,
Sooner die by far than yield.
Loudly beats the drum and louder
Roars the cannon III the fray,
While the boys in blue are thinking
OF the loved ones tar away
Clustering lock OF coal black trcsses,
Faces of pure Saxon mould,
Shaded by soft auburn ringlctS
DIingling with bright Curs of gold.
They have fallen dead and dying
Some are fantng in the sun;
And the victory have won.
But an angel passes over,
Whispering of II SavlOur'S love
Bears on snowy wings OF whltcucSS
Some cDC's darling far above,
Swiftly goes the sad news flying
All along the Lo~thcrn wire,
Filling every home with sorrow.
kindling every patriots ire.
From quiet northern village
Comes maiden fruil ana fair,
While her eyclds drOOp with weeping,
For soldier youth to care.
Tossing on his fevcicd pillow,
suffering from his wounds IN pain,
Am dreaming, is it real Z
Has deaths angel come again.
Come to whisper of nay mother
Far above the bright blue sky
No it is my gentle maiden.
And the tear drop His each eye.
Came from home. our dear New England
ON, the unexpected joy
Not Tor love OF lame or glory
Came to nurse Il soldier boy.
Nights of weary. patient watching,
Many a soldiers land at rest,
Gone without one word of parting
From true friends who loved them best.
Grassy mounds on every hllleldc,
Tell whore Union soldiers,
In the vale and by the rivers.
While their mpids and mothers weep.
have wandered from my story,
From tale So strictly true,
Yet know OF many suddcr
That were never brought to view.
But the dark eyed youth and maiden,
Came to dwell am:d the hills,
Bearing traces OF that attic:
He II place of honor fills.
Settled in the quiet village
Loved 10y all the good and true
And they only do hin Justice
For the wearing OF the blue.
