On the Sunday after the battle of Cedar Mountain, as our wounded soldiers were lying in a church at Culpepper C.H. which had been taken for a hospital, one of the mortally-wounded whispered to a dying companion, "I wish there was some one here to pray for us!" to which his companion replied, "They are praying for us at home!"
"Oh, would there were some kind one Who, on the Sabbath-day, Would breathe one prayer to cheer us As our spirits pass away!--If there only were some loved one To grasp us by the hand And whisper words of comfort As we leave this earthly strand!"
