She brea'hed a prayer for him A prayer lie oould not hear ; But he paused to bless her as she knelt. And he wiped away a tear. He turned and left the spot. Oh, do not deem him weak ! For dauntless was the soldier's heart. Thong!) tears were on his cheek. Go watch the foremost ranks Id danger's dark career ; Be sure the hand most daring there Has wiped away a tear. Anonymous.
