The Drummer Boy of Shiloh is a 1960 short story by American author Ray Bradbury. - AsNotedIn
In the April night, more than once, blossoms fell from the orchard trees and lit with rustling taps on the drumskin. At midnight a peach stone left miraculously on a branch through winter, flicked by a bird, fell swift and unseen, struck once, like panic, which jerked the boy upright. In silence he listened to his own heart ruffle away, away, at last gone from his ears and back in his chest again.Ray Bradbury, The Drummer Boy of Shiloh
