rumorOf anxious world or wars foregathering signs. The bleaching flag, the faded wreath. Mark the dead soldiers dust beneath, And show the death he chose;Forgotten save by her who weeps alone.And wrote his fameless name on this low stone: Break not his sweet repose. John Aebee. q ODE AT MAGNOLIA CEMETERY Sung mi the occasion of decorating the graves of tin- Confederatedead, at Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, on Memorial Day, April, 1867. Sleep sweetly in your humble graves.Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause: Though yet no marble column cravesThe pilgrim here to pause. In seeds of laurel in the earth The blossom of your fame is blown, And somewhere, waiting for its birth,The shaft is in the stone! Meanwhile, behalf the tardy years Which keep in trust your storied tombs. Heboid! your sisters bring their tears,.And these memorial blooms. : I sed by permission of the 15. F. Johnson Publishing Company. Rich-mond, Virginia, publishers of the Memorial Edition of the Poems ofHenry Timrod. (274)
