Dirge For Two Veterans.
The last sunbeam

The last sunbeam
Lightly falls from the hnishd SabbathI
On the pavement here and there beyond II is looking
down new-made double grave.
Lo the moon ascending
Up from the East the sIlyery round moon,
Beautiful over the housetops CHASTITY phantom moon
Immense and silent moon
see a sad procession,
And hear the sound Of coming full.key'd buges,
All the channels Of the city streets they're flooding
AS with voices and with tears
hear the great drums pounding
And the small drums steady whirring
And every blow OF the great conyuslye drums
Strikes me through and through
For the son is brought with the father
In the foremost ranks OF the fierce assault they FELL
Two veterans, son and father, dropt together,
And the double grave awaits theml
Now nearer blow the bugles
And the drums strike more eonvulsiye,
And th0daylight Ger the pavement quite has faded,
And the strong dead march enwraps me
In the Eastern sky up-buoying
The sorrowful vast phantom moves illumin'd
IT'S some mothers large, transparent face
In heaven brighter growingl,
strong dead march, sou please me
moon, intense with your syery face you soothe me
