Death is like moonlight in a lofty wood,
That pours pale magic through the shadowy leaves;
‘T is like the web that some old perfume weaves
In a dim, lonely room where memories brood; ...
DEAD, with their eyes to the foe,
Dead, with the foe at their feet;
Under the sky laid low
Truly their slumber is sweet,
Though the wind from the Camp of the
Slain Men blow,
And the rain on the wilderness beat.
