87 A T MOTHER S GRA VE.
A little stream slipped through the grass, With sad and murmuring sound ; On every side, grief s highest tide Had left full many a mound, As if His, " Peace be still ! " had fixed These waves upon the ground.
And ever, where the streamlet went Broad elms and maples grew, Whose heavy shadows o er it bent, Hid sun and star and blue ; The heaven it saw from yonder field Was all the heaven it knew.
But, flowers sent up the faint, sweet breath Of her whose breath was still, A...nd birds right in the face of Death Sang out their sweetest trill ; How could they know, that had not sinned, That Death had power to kill!
A T MOTHER S GRA VE.
Save these, no earthly sound was heard, No living thing was there ; Yet, something like the awful word Of God, was in the air ; Which, striking dumb all worldly thought, Unloosed the lips of prayer.
Was it th assembled souls of those Long gone, the pure, the just ?
Or the all-yearning heart that goes To them, with love and trust, And beats its life out, day and night, Above their hallowed dust?
