One mound there was remote from all the rest No pathway toward it, by no hand carressnl None cared for this — and none a tribute irave, All turned away — for 'twas a "Rebel's Grave." Amid the throng a little girl was seen Wending her footsteps towards the lonely mound The grass upon it, was as fresh and green As that which grew on consecrated ground "Tis true" she said "that others seem to scorn This one lone grave so friendless and forlorn But I will go and strew with little flowers What God b...aptised with sunshine and with showers. HP HE tender tribute which pure childhood gave Called forth rebuke from some who stood anear "Why scatter roses on a Rebel's Grave Twas not for this, that we assembled here." The girl looked up in innocent surprise Through tear-drops gathering in her hazel eyes At length in faltering accents she replied To those who would her noble motives chide: "My own dear Father was a soldier too, Far in the Sunn)' South he marched away With friends and comrades dressed in Union Blue To meet the Rebel enemy in Gray.
