WELLINGTON.

Britannia, plunged in sorrow by the death
Of him who was in all her ehiefest son,
Sadly proelahhed in tones of falt'ring breath,
That one last honour to his name be done.
That solemn scene of grandeur has gone by,
To which the nation opened all its heart.
The pageant was sublime ! The very sky
Seemed in its glory bright to bear a part ;
For not a cloud obscured the golden sun
That saw the tomb close over Wellington !

His bright career was brilliant to the last,
And worthy of his name the closing scene ;
Not e'en the breath of malice sought to cast
A single stain—where stain had never been.
-Upon his brow a nation's eyes were bent ;
Towards his tomb a nation's heart was turned ;
And up to Heaven that nation's prayers were sent
For him in solemn grandeur thus inurned—
For him—the nation's highest, noblest son—
Her patriot chief—unconquered Wellington !

See, from each point how countless thousands pour
To give their silent homage on the day
To him they sadly mourn for and deplore—
The mighty hero Death has snatched away.
Slowly amidst that multitude there comes
The solemn pageant moving to the tread
Of England's heroes—as the muffled drums
Proclaim the coming of the mighty dead.
And there conspicuous o'er them all appears
The bier of him who has the nation's tears.

In deap solemnity it moves along
Towards the sleeping hero's resting-place ;
And as it passes through that silent throng
Pride, mixed with sadness, animates each fa :0 ;
For there, upon that passing solemn car,
Appear the trophies which the hero gained
For England in her troublous time of war—
Trophies which ne'er by cruelty were stained•
There, too, emblazoned, were those noble nam( 0
Through which our Wellington his glory claim

Names which shall shine in history while her r itsg
Shall be a light to nations yet unknown—
Names which shall live in every distant age—
Their glory second only to his own.
With them he rose to Fame's exalted height—
By them his name obtained a world's esteem.
Through them he showed the nations that his mig ht
Alone could their lost liberties redeem.
They left but one more glory as his due
In thy great triumph, wondrous Waterloo !

The tomb has closed upon him, and he sleeps
Beneath that dome that is our city's pride ;
There, o'er that honoured tomb Britannia wec
And mourns the day that her great hero di,
But still above her sadness there she feels
One solace to assuage her heavy grief.
As by her mighty hero's tomb she kneels
In silent sorrow—this is her relief :
She hears the voice of universal Fame
Stamp everlasting glory on his name.
