As The Sun Went Down
1vo soldiers lay on the battlefield At night whsn the hu went down. Olie held a lock of thin gray hair, Acd one held a loek of brown. One thought of his sweetheart back At home, Happy and younf; and gay, And one of his mother left alone, Feeble and old and gray. Eaeh in the thought that a woman cared Hurmured a prayer to God, Lifting his gaze to the blue above, There on the battle sod. Kach in the joy of a woman 's love Smiled through the pain of death, Murmured the sound of a woman's name, Though with his parting breath. Pale grew the dying lips of each. Then, as the sun went down, One kissed a lock of thin gray hair, And one kissed a lock of brown.
