We remained in a sort of field-dispensary until long after taps, and then I was shown a place to sleep, in a tent a short distance away. 138 Army and Other Sketches. '* The night was calm, and the regiments were bur- ied in profound repose. Not a sound broke the still- ness as I wrapped myself in a blanket and composed myself to slumber. I was lingering in that delight- ful region which divides the domain of wakefulness from that of sleep, when there came through the still air a voice which sai...d: " Oh, Lord !" It was apparently a thin, childish tone, weakened as if by suffering, and yet penetrating in its clearness. At intervals of ten minutes, perhaps, the same voice rang out the same " Oh, Lord ! " upon the still- ness. Sleep seemed to follow it away through the darkness. Hour after hour passed, and still I lay awake, listening to this monotonous cry. It did not seem one of terror. It appeared rather one inspired by loneliness, by suffering, and by the absence of hope. It was suggestive of the tired moan of a weary child, which wishes for, yet suffers, and is too exhausted to rest.
