The End of the Battle

“HUSH!” said his mother, a woman of this world, “hush! his mind is wandering; he thinks he is in battle.”
But Heaven is listening as the young officer utters his last words upon earth―
“To the front! to the front! My Shepherd leads the way. Higher Higher! Higher!”
Then his well-known Leader gave the command — “Come up higher,” and he fell asleep.
