Lines zvritten on the death of Professor
FISHER, by DR.. J. q. PercivaE.
We ask no flowers to deck thy tomb,
Thy name in purer light shall bloom;
When every flower on earth is dead,
And all that bloom below are fcd.
To thee, the light of mind was given,
The centre Of thy soul was heaven;
In early youth the spirit came,
And wrapped thee in its wings Of fame.
The Iambent light that round thee flowed,
Rose TO its high and bright abode;
And bore thy restless eye afar,
To read the fate OF sun and star.
Fain would we think the Chain is broke,
That bound thy spirit 10 its yoke;
That now no mist of earth can blind
Thy bright, thy pure and perfect mind.
Thy grave is on foreign strand,
Thy tomb is in foreign land !;
No kinsman came, no friend was near,
10 close thine eye and deck thy bier.
But friends shall gather round thy tomb
And long lament thy early doom;
And thi,her science oft repair,
10 plant thy choicest laurels there.
