we were staiioned in the line of fire, and
the enemy were expected every moment,
we were ordered to remain in onr position

thought better that' we should Teturn to

elsewhere. We could see fortifications and

By the daylight we saw the nwd-s we hud

The lashes lie on his cheeks sothia,
Where the softest blosh of the rose has been,
Sbuuing ihe blue of his eyes within,
The pure lids slosed in re6t.
Over the sweet brow lotirrgly
Torneth his sonny hair.
He was so fragile thai Love" sent down
From his heavenly gems, that soft, bright

To shade his brow with waves so brown,
Lisiht as the dimpling air.
