ONLY A BRAKEMAN.

Awful the shock when the engines met:
All was terror, confusion, din;
None who saw it will e'er forget
The picture that daylight ushered in.
Shattered fragments of iron and steel,
Splintered wood and battered brass
Mingled with broken rod and wheel
And some ones blood stained the wayside
grass.
Some ones body. all crushed and torn,
Covered with wounds. bereft of breath,
Was found meath the wreck: the jacket
worn
Told how a brakeman had met his death.
Some one wept when the news was borne:
Some one mourned DER the mangled dead.
In line of duty from some one torn
Yet "only a brakeman" the papers said.
Sadly they buried him meath the sod.
Then took the Grape from the cottage
door
Over a grave the roses nod
The grave of brakeman whose run is
o'er.
