Slowly they bear upon his funeral bier
The honored dead and many gathered tear
Dms the stern eye Of manhood as they iay,
In silent state, the souforsaken clay.
One gaze those sealed lips, whose every word
or burning eloquence the soul once strredi
One look those closed eyes, whose rayless night
The fire of glowing thought no more shall light!
They gaze upon him: party strife grows still
In every breast and through each heart the thrill
or grief Is passing, whilst that rigid frame
And those cold lips earth's nothingness proclaim.
Droops DER the dome where once he proudly Stood
His countrys flag, though not through Of blood
Twas his TO bear il; yet to bid it wave,
Minds ceaseess tolls the unfinching patriot gave
Eagle that still the LOFTY height surveyed, "
Where once his pnions with the tempest played
Though the dimmed plume the falling strength, declare
He must leave the lofty fields Of air,
stiA CLOVIS his eye with all It's wonted fires
Still for one flight his quivenng wing aspires
Proud he unfarls Ii, gains his native skies,i
Then sinks to earth, no more again to rise
How didst thou love thine own fair sunny cline
Proud land Of chivalry! where sublime,
In conscious worth, looks proudly to the sky,
With honor beaning In his kinding eye.
As the brave siandard bearer midst the strife
Cings TO his country's flag, though ehbing life
Scarce lets him grasp It, thou, with tireess hand,
Bore the palmetto Of thy native land!
Sad shall IL droop, when far they bear away,
Beneath thy homes bright skies, thy honored clay
From every sister cline, from every tongue,
Thy praise is heard, thy funeral knell is sungi
Not for proud genius, whose bright fires may light
The mind immersed in dark and moral night,
But for thy lofty puhty-the fame
That left without one stain thy peerless name,
