ny JAMES G. PERcIvAL.
Jpebbe's " Come ye Disconsolafe."
| Low in his narrow house darkly reposing,
Calmly the great and good sinks to his rest
| Though the grave over him dmly is closing,
| Weep MOTHS dwelling is now with the best
| After LIES ftful dream, gently declining
Doves sleep not softller, warm in their nest,
| Soon a morning dawns, cheerfuy shining
Soon he awakens, to live with the best
Well hath he done his task, nobly contended,
| Firm for his Faiherand batted the foe,
Bright too in peace hath shone-all now is ended
Patriot and Hero, here lieth he low.
| Be not disconsolate He is ascending,
Where his Sire welcomes him home to his love,
| Spirits of other days him bending,
Fondly invite him to join them above.
