The eagle has stopped from his merry on high,
star has gone out from its path in the sky,
A Statesman has fallen in his bluze of renown,
His brow all eficirced with Fame s laurel crown
Then ltallow his srive-iay him down In his rest,
Where Memory shall water the turf OH his breast
And the soft winds of summer sigh DER his repusa
In his own Tennessee, where the Cumberland flows
His name is enrolled with each mighty
That Glory or Country shall hand down fame
interwove in the annals of the brave and the free,
To echo forever from unto
His career all finished, his laurcs
When the of the foremost is scarcely begun;
Aud the finger of Glory shall point TO his
As the areenest in years, but the equal in fame.
While red Buena Vista looms up in the fight,
Like a nieteor's blaze in the darkness of night:
While the gates Of tie mountains their unfold
Whiie California o'erdows with gold;
While the of Freedom is glory and rrde
While the broad of Empire rolls up like the
While States, like stars the horizon shall
What shall be brighter emblazoned than thine
Then liallow his prave--iay him down in his rest,
Where Memory shall water tle turf ON his breast
And the soft winds OF summer sigh DER his repo,e
