Excerpt from In Barrack and Field, Vol. 1 of 3: Poems and Sketches of Army LifeON the border of a valley Where the Tallapoosa glides, Where the placid hush of nature In the forest shadow bides There, by wood and glen surrounded, Deeply hidden in the shade, A rustic homestead, ancient founded, Rears its unpretending head.Peacefully the night is closing, Closing softly o'er the scene, And saddened hearts, in peace reposing, Dream of joys that once have been.But in that wood-embowered cot One there is, who dreameth not, Unto the widow's God a prayer Is rising through the silent air, Angel pinions bear it heavenward, Angel hands record it there.O God, thou hast been good to me, And every blessing thou hast given, My love, my life I owe to thee, But grant me this, O God of heaven That he, my young, my wayward son, Now gone to mingle in the fight, The struggle of his life begun, May ever tread the path of right.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
