To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Seen then, and seen no more.
One friend to aid, I measured back With him that pathway dread ; No fear to wander from our track, Its waymarks English dead.
Light thickened; but our search was crowned, As we too well divined; And after briefest quest we found What we most feared to find.
His bosom with one death-shot riven.
The warrior boy lay low ; His face was turned unto the heaven, His feet unto the foe.
u As lie had fall'n upon the plain, Inviolate he lay; No ruffian spoiler's hand profane H...ad touched that noble clay.
And precious things he still retained, Which by one distant hearth, Loved tokens of the loved, had gained A worth beyond all worth.
I treasured these for them who yet Knew not their mighty woe ; I softly sealed his eyes, and set One kiss upon his brow.
A decent grave we scooped him, where Less thickly lay the dead.
And decently composed him there Within that narrow bed.
15 theme for manhood's bitter tears, The beauty and the bloom Of less than twenty summer years Shut in that darksome tomb !
