"Wm. D. Tompkins and Capt. Samuel H. Tompkins, C. S. A., of Bedford County, Sons of Dr. Daniel Tompkins ; both killed in action.
Where, in tlie attic window, Dim light the day affords, 'Mid gathering mould and cinder, There hans; two hero swords.
Silent as they who wore them The swords have hung for years, Stain'd with their blood who bore them, And wet with sacred tears.
159 160 THE TWO SWORDS.
Now while tlie busy spiders The slumbering blades festoon, "Where rest the gallant riders, And where... each echoing gun?
And where the charging legions These stainless swords have led ?
Look to the silent regions, And ask the mouldering dead !
The useless swords and sashes Now moth and rust consume.
And they are dust and ashes.
Who fell in life's young bloom.
But as the sunlight flashes A faint gleam on the grave, From faithful eyes there dashes A soft rain, for the brave.
THE TWO SWORDS. 161 Yea, fading eyes and wrinkled Have paid their tribute too; And unseen tears liave sprinkled Their names in holy dew.
