Dirge--for One Who Fell In Battle

Hoorn a soldier ! lay liiin in tlie clover He loved tbe field, and thv shall be his cover Miike bis BkOfLttd with bera wlio called hlm once her lover ; Where the rain mayrain upnn it, Where the sun may shine npoo it, Whevo the lamb hath lainupon it, And the bee will dioe upoii it. Bear hlm to no dismal tomb andar city churches ; Tata htonto the fragrwat floldiiby the silver blrchas. WIktc the whipp-irwill shall mourn, wheru the oriole perches : - M:kehis raound with sunshins on it, Where t&J beewill diñe uponit, Wtere the iamb lialh lain upon it, And the rain will rain upon it. Busy as the busy bec, hirf rest should be the clover ; (jeutle as a Uimb waa he, and the fera should be hiü cover ; Fern aud rosemary sballgrow my soldier's píllow over: - Whirü thtTíii.. uMiy ruin upon it, Wlieie the suii niny line upon it, Wtwve the lamb na'.h luiu upon it, Aud the bee line upon it. Sunshine in bis heart, the rain would cerne full often Out of those te-ider eyes which eveiraore did sotten ; He turrar could leok cokl, till ironw lnm iu bU cwiün, MaUe his niouinl wiíh sunshine on it, Where the wind m .y sigh upoa it, Wiiere the moon muy stieam upon it, Aui meinoiv ihall dream u]iou it. Captain or Colonel,"- whatevtr invocation, Suit cur hymn tlie best, no matter tur thy station, - Un thy gravo the rain t-hall lall írcm the oyes of a niigbty natkn ! Long as thasuo doth shine upon .t, thail grow the goudly pine upon it, Longlis the stars do gleam upou it, Pliall mBl ry cunie to dream upon it.
