BY LADY OF PHILADELPHIA.
Rest thee, In peace, brave warrior
Thy day Of strife II DER;
The clang Of arms, the lannon's peal
Shall rouse thee up more.
The eagle watches DER thee,
The soldier round thy bier,
But sad and still their measured march,
on to thy sight SO dear.
Thy "war-horsc" proudly follows.
His quick and gancins eye
Surveys the serried phaisnx,
His master To dcscry.
But empty IL his saddle,
Loose dangling is his rein;
The Chief Of Bucna Vista
Shall mount him not again
No foeman fronts his columns,
No hsshing sword and gun
Strike terror to the umd here,
Ere yet the field be won.
The music strains arc mournfuI,
Stern grief sits on each brow,
For he who led the bravest
10 cold and lifeless now.
The gallant Scott rides iowiy;
He feels the ebb of life;
The stsalthy step Of death he hears
In peace ~ well - strife.
For he who walked midst dangers,
Unscathed for year,, Is gone;
Tranquil and firm in Christian Faith,
His noble race 10 run.
His friends were gathered round him
He raised his glazing eyes;
No fear OF desth-no love Of life
For Asm alone he sishs.
