A Grave near Petersburg, Virginia.

Head-board and foot-board duly placed —

Grassed in the mound between;

Daniel Drouth is the slumberer's name —

Long may his grave be green!

Quick was his way — a flash and a blow,

Full of his fire was he —

A fire of hell —‘ tis burnt out now —

Green may his grave long be!

May his grave be green, though he

Was a rebel of iron mould;

Many a true heart — true to the Cause,

Through the blaze of his wrath lies cold.

May his grave be green — still green

While happy years shall run;

May none come nigh to disinter

The — Buried Gun.
