TO
HON. W. PORCHER MILES, M. C.
O friend! who satt'st beside me in the hour
When Death was at my hearth; and in my home
The mother's cry of wailing for that doom,
Long hovering, which, at last, with fatal power
Descended, like the vulture on his prey,
And in his talons bore away our young! —
Thou know'st how terribly this heart was wrung:
Thou cam'st with watch and soothing, night and day,
No brother more devoted! — More than friend,
Belovéd evermore, — behold me thine! —
Yet have I little worthy that is mine,
Save love, and this poor tribute; which must blend
With memories of thy watch, and of our pain,
And of those precious boys, we both have watched in vain!
W. Gilmore Simms.
Woodlands, S. C., April 2, 1859.
