DEATH OF JOHN C. CALHOUN.


A sound of grief strikes on the car,
IT'S echoed fur throughout our land;
Its mournful accents truly paint
The thread OF life how frai the strand
Toll, toll, toll
The funeral bell!
Let Its iron tongue speak out,
nations grief TO tell.
Another bright and brilliant star
Has ta'en It's flight TO heaven afar
Patriot pure lies with the dead;
The Light of the "Southern cross mas Heu.
Yes, he has gone that pure and gifted one;
No deeds of valor grace his spotiess name'
Yet tits inscribed, with an iron pen,
Upon the tablets of his country's fame.
Mourn, aye, well you mourn,
Sons OF Southern land:
Mourn TOE your truest, hrmest friend,
The noblest of your band.
Within your souls that name enshrinc
Around your hearts his memory twine;
Now he's gone, tits priceless boon,
His memory, and that name-"Cahoun
He sleeps in death the snow white shroud
Encircles round that noble form
He sleeps within the mournful tomb,
Far from the tumult and the storm.
Weep, weep, weep,
Ye maidens fair;
cypress wreath for the Patriot twine,
Irvine it in his hair.
Bend softly Ger the funeral bier
Bedew the noble corse with tears;
The purest offering that could be given,
Is waited with those tears TO heaven.
A nation mourns, a nation weeps;
Ave well she may; the brightest gem
Her crown can boast, is plucked and SET
Within princely dadem.
Tread, tread, tread
Softly DER the sod
Where rest the ashes OF the one
Whose soul is with his God.
