AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun went GOWN
One held a lock of thin gray nair
And one held q lock of brown
One thought of the sweetheart back at
home,
Happy and young and gay.
And one of ais mother left alone.
Feeble and old and gray.
Each. in the thought that woman cared,
Murmured q prayer TO Cod
Lifting his gaze to the blue above.
There on the battle sod.
Each in the joy of a woman's love
Smiled through the pain of death,
A'drmured the sound of woman's name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then rs the sun went down,
One kissed a lock of thin gray hair,
And one kissed lock of brown.
