OF AUCHMACOY.
Soldier, rest ! thy warfare o'er,
Sleep the .sleep tfiat knows not breaking ;
Dream of battle-fields no more,
Days of danger, nights of waking.
No rude soimd shall reach thine ear,
Armour's clank, or war steed champing ;
Trump nor pibroch summons here,
Mustering clan or squadron tramping.
Soldier, rest ! thy warfare o'er.
Dream of fighting fields no more ;
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking.
Morn of toil, nor night of waking.
—Scolt.
