Inscription: Dewfall. / DEWFALL- and I sat and read / A letter wet with tears she shed: / First grief like a blight-wind blows, / Blistering life's Summer rose. / GUN-FIRE - and I tried to weep / O'er a face that seemed to sleep - / Far away from home and those / Who saw our love grow like a rose. / 157 //
