Who Was The Unknown Soldier?
(From various newspaper editorials)

Under the amber sunset glow of late
September the cold outlines of the stone
which hides our Unknown Soldier soften.
Loosed from the ever-present tokens of
love, vagrant leaves caressed by the breeze
rustic over the granite. From the Capitol
drifts the murmur of the tide of life at
the homecoming hour.
Shutting feet of age timidly approach
the stone, and from beneath the Romany
shawl which covers the gray hair, dark
eyes filled with pain and longing, strive to
see beyond the sealed portals and with
cred hand makes the sign of the cross.
Shadows fall across the stone and Rachel
leaning on the arm of Jacob, mourns and
will not be comforted.
The step of vibrant womanhood and a
boys questioning voice, ''Do you think he
might be daddy" A stifed sob and the
answer, Hush, dear. Nobody knows
only Cod" Pure passion lays a rose upon
the stone, and in the last rays of the sun
its crimson warmth seems to touch the
stone as gently as the first kiss of love.
