Charles Hamilton Musgrove Gold Poems

• 1. The Newly Dead
  I.
  
  With the light just quenched in their eyes
  They lie in their graves 'neath the skies,
  ...
• 2. A Song For The Hills
  Here is the freedom men die for,--die for but never know;
  Here is the peace they pray for shrined in eternal snow;
  Down on the plain the city moans with a human cry,
  But here there is naught but silence,--peace, and the wide, wide sky.

• 3. The Gold Fields
