The dead woman lay in her first night's grave	A
And twilight fell from the clouds' concave	A
And those she had asked to forgive forgave	A
	-
The woman passing came to a pause	B
By the heaped white shapes of wreath and cross	C
And looked upon where the other was	D
	-
And as she mused there thus spoke she	E
Never your countenance did I see	E
But you've been a good good friend to me	E
	-
Rose a plaintive voice from the sod below	F
O woman whose accents I do not know	F
What is it that makes you approve me so	F
	-
O dead one ere my soldier went	G
I heard him saying with warm intent	G
To his friend when won by your blandishment	H
	-
'I would change for that lass here and now	I
And if I return I may break my vow	I
To my present Love and contrive somehow	I
	-
'To call my own this new found pearl	J
Whose eyes have the light whose lips the curl	J
I always have looked for in a girl '	-
	-
And this is why that by ceasing to be	E
Though never your countenance did I see	E
You prove you a good good friend to me	E
	-
And I pray each hour for your soul's repose	K
In gratitude for your joining those	K
No lover will clasp when his campaigns close	L
	-
Away she turned when arose to her eye	M
A martial phantom of gory dye	M
That said with a thin and far off sigh	M
	-
O sweetheart neither shall I clasp you	N
For the foe this day has pierced me through	N
And sent me to where she is Adieu	N
	-
And forget not when the night wind's whine	O
Calls over this turf where her limbs recline	O
That it travels on to lament by mine	O
	-
There was a cry by the white flowered mound	P
There was a laugh from underground	P
There was a deeper gloom around	P
	-
