AT THE GRAVE OF ANN RUTLDGE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

AT THE GRAVE OF ANN RUTLEDGE There is wild and rustic beauty On the hillslope's crankling crest In the shrub, the weed, the wlldroSe And in graven marbles dressed. Here the murmurS from the ueetopS AS a dirge upon me fall, Yet in fretful, signing breezeS From tomb hear love call. From grave upon the hillside Closely nestled to its breast, I hear the smothered whisperings Of a maiden soul careSSed. Of an unforgotten loved one In narrow, slab marked bed. There transient love compositions The dust lips of the dead, A love from granite grandeur, From the heights of world renown, Whose martyred brow is wearing A nations posthumous crown. To their solitude leave them And the guardian oak that stands With its weathered arms uplifted Strewing leaves with gnarled hands.
 Daniel B. Straley.
