In South Carolina.
O winds of March, how soft ye blow
Across this lovely land of flowers,
The very winds that toss the snow
On far-off Northern hills of ours!
How strange to dream of storm and cold,
Of frosty nights and days of gloom,
Wheh jasmrfie twines its wreaths of gold
And bright azaleas gaily bloom!
So musing, wandering on a part
With idle steps, I chanced to stray
To wjiere, against the city's heart,
An ancient church-yard nestling lay.
A sapphire sky .waa o'er my head,
Fresh springing grass beneath my feet;
That .quiet dwelling of the dead
Seemed mado for slumber, calm and
Bweet ? I
Great names of old, their country's pride,
Were graven here on many a stone;
But, passing these, I turned aside
To.one low cross that stood alone,
'?He died at Gettysburg^" it said, .
"An only son. Aged twenty years."
Down oh the grass I laid my head
And wet the-grave with bitter tears;
For at that moment, to my thought,
Another cross appeared to rise;
Almost the self-same words are wrought
Upon the marble where he lies;
? 'At Gettysburg, just twenty-one"?
My boy, my nero, young and brave!
"Ho was his mother's only son,"
Her heart is buried in his graver -? .
A voice was sounding in my ears, '
A voice that spoke with cruel tone:
"O,' foolish woman!. Useless tears!
Far better had you kept your own!
Who knows which side the right doth lie?
Dispute the question as you may,
Two noble boys went out to die?
One life was 6ureiy flung away!"
? 'No, noj" I cried. "We needs must take
Our journey oft through cloud and
night; - * .-.rr
Yes, even at the .morning's .break*,,
We turn, bewildered, from'the light.
The eagle minds, whose steady eyes
Can face the sun, alas! are few,
But since we cannot all be wise,
Thank God, we can, at least, be true!
"The gold is mixed with baser ore,
But yet tho furnace can refine;
In soli-devotion, evermore . .
Some sparks of heavenly metal shine;
And bo the soldier who laid down
His life for what he deemed the right,
He'surely shall not miss the crown
Kept for all heroes in the fight
"In years to come, when men shall learn
To. view this conflict from afar,
True faith and courage then will burn,
Axnid the darkness, like a star.
Porhaps the children may exclaim,
'Our fathers stumbled in the night;
Their .grand devotion shall not shame
Our better wisdom, wider sight'"
Then, rising from that holy ground,
I plucked a leaf of budding palm
And laid it gently on the mound,
"After the tempest comes the calm;
Sleep, gallant boy?the life you gave
Its precious fruit one day shall bring,
As, even now, from out your grave,
The flower of sympathy doth Bpring,"
