They pass from time-he wise, the great, the mean
All to that vale, by mortal feet untrod,
Whose pathways tend TO destnies unseen-
The house of dark perdition or of God.
They pass from earth-in ove-watched, anguid rest
Some TO the portals of the grave repair
On ocean some-and oft the dread behest
OF battle speeds unnumbered victims there.
Millions the debt to nature due repay,
Unsung, unwept, unhonored, and unknown
To whom the cherries heritage of clay
Is welcome, as their pilgrimage was lone
Mysterious plan like stars that nature set,
When time was born, upon the milky zone,
They may have sunk from human gaze, and vet
Kiade the light of the celestial throne.
And still to mortals there hath ofttmes been,
In trust, some beatific lustre given,
Which, long dispensed, admirng earth hath seen,
And coveted when summoned back to heaven.
Fen like some pensive star, receding slow
From the vast orbit Of revolving mind,
patriots soul hath left the realms below,
Leaving train of halowed light behind.
nation mourns. No tears Of transient wo,
Such as maternal or fraternal eyes
Sutfuse, till time shall check their bitter flow,
From the deep founts of Borrowing hearts arise.
sage departs, with clustering hodors crowned,
Earned by the good he scattered from his store:
A nation mourns! and yet its grief profound
Could not by tears be eloquent the more.
"His end i. peace % his life was as the stream
Oflimpid water frnged with golden sand;
Its fountain head the throne--a prophets dream
Ever the rainbow, peace, above it spanned.
How blest unknown eternity appears
To him who looks upon life well spent,
And utters, mid the vision OF his years,
"This is the end of earth-l die content"
