With tiny hands, stretched upwards to its dome.

Or Ike an hour, or Ike span,

lines
Creations hushd-the weary world
Sinks in The arms Of dead repose,
And mdnight's sombrc shrou unfurcJ,
Nantes the face Of human woes
Sleep, placid sleep, the Of night
In silence wheels his drowsy fight,
And All is quict-not a breath has power
70 break the Sabbath stiffness Of the midnight hour
The moon is up-her silver car
Dives through the pacing clouds, which seem
To thwart her way-each countless star
Pours from on high It's twnkhng beam,
Sweet contemplation what night IS this
For thy calm philosophc bliss
In such sacred spot, for here bier
The mould'ring wrecks of heroes lie on carIs cold
Look on yon sleepy mound whose side
Shcws the fresh trace Of busy toll,
And mark how bleaching bones divide
In ghastly nakedness the soil.
Relics of giant strength are there
In crumbhng ruln-skus do stare
From out their earthly beds and preach
In language stronger far than eoquence may reach.
We silent monitors that still
Hold on your mute harangues, unfold
What mighty souls wont to fill
These frames of more than mortal mould.
Ask not the dead--yon rough-hcwu stone
Which the pale moon doth smile upon
Can tell that here in slumbcr lie
The valiant Of Mata's matchless chiyalry
Oh how the witchcrv Of thought
Can animate these crumbling slain,
Place them in battles hcrccy fought,
And bid them fight and die again
Perchance yon skull BY mattock rven,
And Wondering in the winds of heaven
Meath Soma's proud walls hath planned
The bold assault. or nightly havoc of the Paynm
band
That shattered fragment huge and grim,
Like tower of strength in dark decay,
Hath shone the warriors plated limb
In hot contentious bloody day
Hundreds have watched its Signal dire
And thousands fallen beneath its ire
When reused as from midnight trance.
Gnnst pagan tyrants Europe couched her nightly
lance
Yet here in "cold obstruction" lie
Heroes that turned the b&ttIe-t;de
Nor yew, nor cypress DER them sigh,
Nor stone informs when they died
BY time or Gothic bigot reft,
Nought of their honours now is left
Sleep on, blest shades and ma, your lot
