To tho Memory OF Henry Clay.
The bells may cease tolling,
The cannon rolling,
And the trappngs Of woe fade away
But BY those lips breathless,
Thy name shall be deathless
In this WIDE wide land, Henry Clay
Though the torches grow dim
And the funeral hymn,
As 1t rises to heaven expire;
Yet shall memory here
Behold through tear,
In the hearts of u nation thy pyre
As she weeps by the urn
She bids the world learn
There are gories that never decay;
And In letters of light,
Tears obscuriDg her sight,
She traces thy name Henry Clay
