The following short poem was composed some ten years ago, on a summer day In the midst of the thick woods which surround Elkton, Douglas County, Oregon. It was first pub lished at that time in the "Sunday Orcgonlan," and from that paper was copied into various publications, both east and west of the Rockies. We give it to our readers In a slightly amended form w-L There's nothing so still as death, my friend, There is nothing so still as death; When the pulse has ccas'd, and the solemn priest A murmer'd requiem saith; Arid the hand of the dead is heavy, likclead, And spent is the parting breath. ' n I stood in the forest at silent noon, - - When afl' of life seemM hush'd: And all around, upon the ground, Lay the little blossoms crush'dj And the burning one, the great rcdsun Look'd near and fierce and flush'd. m And I said, in awe, as I gaz'd about Could aught be more still than these? There's never a move in the leaves above, That grow on the silent trees; And from on high, the glaring sky ' 4 a , Emits nor breath, nor breeze. IV But, 'twas not so still as death, my friend, Fopnothing so still can be; Nor hill, nor vale) though hush'd the gale, Nor flow'r, nor leaf, nor tree, .
