Synopsis
Excerpt from Dreams of Fort Garry
The soft breeze comes sighing; the day is fast dying; The birds seek their nests in the mouths of the guns. Nightshadows are creeping, the grey walls seem sleeping; The last shaft of light on the sundial runs.
No more does the bell on the tree clang to tell The end of the day or the passing of man.
