Il prisoner on Johnson's Island, and it
VAS recently enpied from an auto

cavalry, fellow. prisoner, who after
Waros lost an arm at Gettysburg. This
~ but one OF many poems written by
prisoners on that famous old island, a
number OF which We're copied into this
album, now so highly treasured by the
daughter OF Captain Perry, Mrs. c. A.
Martin. OF Tazeweil. va.)
Q. who has not heard OF this isle in
Lake Erie:
So guarded to-day. SO UNDECIDED be-
Where the brave and the loyal stroll
listleso and weary,
Theft thoughts far away from its
low, sandy shoreg
The sun rises rcd DER the waters, Lake
And gladdens the day with its rich
Q, who Will he tell Of the thoughts sad
Nov. casting such gloom DER the
brave and the true?
When cannon doomed loud mid the
storm Of the battle,
And riders lay breathless, their horses
all foam.
L nose hearts thaC ne er Quaiied nld6t
the musketrY rattle
Now melt when they think OF dear
faces at home.
The Sugls call wakes with its loud re-
veIlie
From nights httul slumhcr those
heroes so true
From sweet dreams OF Dixie, uncon-
quercd aEh froa,
To muse and ia stroll til the sound
OF tattoo.
Q. who would have thought Of a pro-
phet had told US
A few years ago that such things
could Ger be-
That strangers might come and in
prison behold US
Confined In land that still claims
to be free?
The storm blasts Of winter sweep cold
DER Lake Erie:
In silence we bear out lost comrades
TO rest:
No more will they stroll midst the list
less ana weary:
They sleep their last sleep in this tslo
OF the West.
