BETTER SO.

I look across the fields to-night;

Here, on the bridge above the river: I hear the waters moan and shiver,

As they flow onward out of sight. The air is faint with scent of flow'rs,

The sky is of so pale a blue The dull gold of the stars break through, Like watahing worlds that wait on ours.

I see the beauty of the night,

At one might see in some sweet dream The beauty of a vision gleam

Ere it for ever fades from sight. Instead there risos, pale and cold,

The brightness of a day that's fled, The sweetness of a love that's dead, The aching of a pain untold.

I abiver in the Autumn air;

My eyes are blind with bitter tears -For that fair promise of the years... That lies behind me, cald and fair. It was so hard to let it go 1

But can we in our blinding pain, Tell gold from dross, tell loss from gain?

It may be it was better so.

The losses on both sides were very heavy. One of our battalions out of 21 officers had 11 killed and six wounded; we also lost one of our brigade generals, Hank Bassat, a Russian Prince, who was killed early in the morning.
