If Hearts That

by AUSTIN DOBsoN.

81 AUSTIN iDttSON.
Here in this leafy place,
Quiet he lies,
Cold, with his sightless face
Turned to the skies;
'Tis but another dead;
All you can say is said.
Carry his body hence;
Kings must have slaves;
Kings climb to eminenee
Over mems graves.
SO this mans eve Is dim:
Throw the earth over him.
What was the white you
touched
There at his side?
Paper his hand had clutched
Tight ere he died;
Message or wish. maybe;
Smooth out the folds and see.
Hardly the worst of us
Here could have smiled;
Only the tremulous
Words of a CHILD
PrattIe that had for stops
Just a few rudy drops.
Look! SHE is sad to miss,
Morning and night.
Iis-her dead fathers kiss;
Tries to be bright,
Good to mamma, and sweet;
That is all, "MARGt%ERITE"!
