A REVERIE.
O'er hill and dale resounds the
battle's strife,
Where once the pesesful villager
did toil And, boros-handed, wrested from
the soil.
The germ of life,
Mid burriesnes of shot and shell
they lie
Doep in the bosom of their
mother earth:
That mother, who hse njarished
them since birth Watches o'er by.
Yet, when perhaps through her
protective arms
Some chanos abell pieroes an
unlucky guest,
Still in her ample bosom inde he
roat
From war's alarms.
No shout of victory will grest his,
Car,
Nor garland crows his temples
flushed with pride,
No lead huxzs'e for him, for be
has died:
The earth his bier."
