Nights mantle on the field Is cast;
The Indian yell Is heard no more,
And silence broods DER Erie's shore.
AT this lone hour go 10 tread
The field where valor vanly bled-
To raise the wounded warriors crest,
Or warm with tears his icy breast;
To treasure UP his last cuInmand,
And bear II 10 his native land.
II may one pulse Of joy impatt
To a fond mothers bleeding heart;
Or for moment il may dry
The tear drop in the Widows eye.
Vain hope, away! The widow meier
Her warriors dying wish shall hear.
The passing zephyr bears no sigh,
No wounded warrior meets the eye
Death Is his sleep by Ere's wave,
OF Raisin,s snow we heap his grave!
How many hopes lie murdered here
The mothers JOY, The fathers pride,
The country's boast, the foeman's fear
In wilder'd havoc, side by side.
Lend me, thou silentQueen OF night,
Lend me awhile thy waning light,
