SIC andL,

The Post recently contained reference to
poem Of merit published as original in the San
Antonio Express few weeks ago. and raised
the point that it had appeared some months ago
as the posthumous product Of a Georgetown man.
Mr. T. T. Roche, Of the Georgetown Sun.
sends The Post the poem with the following
note.
Some time ago Colonel J. Hampton Sullivan,
Of the san Antonio Express, wrote me concern
ing the authorship Of an exquisite little poem
that / had published IN the Sun a year or so
ago, aseribing the authorship to DR. Anderson,
deceased. OF this city With Colonel Sullivan's
letter was note to him from you, telling of
the Suns publication and urging him 70 ex-
pose an apparent forgery. a lady Of this city
has supplied me with the poem as It appeared
In a magazine before our civil war, with the
name Of the author attached / enclose both
copies that you may see how NOT only the author
ship was attempted TO be Appropriated, but the
title and text altered to help the deception
The poem follows
SHE AND /.
And said, "she is dead, could not brook
Again on that marvellous face TO look
But they took my hand and they led me in,
And left alone with my nearest kin,
Once again alone in that silent place,
My beautiful dead and I face TO face
And could not speak, and could not stir,
But stood and with love looked on her.
With love, and with rapture and strange sur
prise
I looked on the lips and close-shut eyes,
on the perfect rest and the calm content
And the happiness there in her features blentt
And the ,hin white hands that had wrought so
much,
Now neryelcss to kisses or fevsred touch
Nv beautiful dead who had known the strife,
! The pain, and the sorrow that We call life
Who had never faItered beneath her cross,
! Nor murmured when loss followed swift on loss;
And the smile that sweeteued her lips Away
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day
smoothed from her hair silver thread
! And ! wept but | could not think her dead
felt with wonder too deep for speech.
She could tell what only the angels teach
And over her mouth learned my ear.
Lest there might be something ] should not hear,
Then out from the silence between us stole
A message that reached 10 my inmost soul
WHY weep you today who have wept before
That the road was rough must journey o'err
oWhy mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot3
Behold al my lie have longed for rest
Yea. cen when held you upon my breast
And now that l die in breathless sleep
Instead of rejoicing you sigh and weep
NV dearest. I know that YOU would not break,
If YOU could my slumber and have me wake
For. tho life was full OF the things that blesA
have never ill now known happiness"
Then dried my tears, and with lifted head
left my mother my beautiful dead.
