Excerpt from The Spring Hill Review, Vol. 10: January, 1906 Like the sigh of the psalm, Seeking quiet and calm, Was the wing of the breeze in its motion, And the soft moonlight fell Over meadow and dell, And the starlight streamed over the ocean. All 50 peaceful it seemed, Never one of us dreamed Of the foe that lay close to our dwelling, And the child on the breast Of its mother at rest Breathed as soft as the breeze in her swelling.
