IIERNDON.
Ay, shout and rave, thou cruel sea,
In triumph DER that fated deck,
Grown holy by another grave
Thou hast the captain Of the lrTecE.
No prayer was said. no lesson read
Ger him, the soldier of the sea,
And yet for him, through all the land,
thousand thoughts tonight shall be.
And many an eye shall dim with tears.
And many cheek be flushed with pride,
And men shall say-here died a Man
And youth shall learn how we'll he died
Ay, weep for him. whose noble soul
Is with the God who made it great,
But weep not for proud death
we could not spare so grand fate.
Nor could Humanity resign
That hour which bids her heart beat high.
And blaZon Dutys stainless shield,
And sets a star in HOnor's sky.
Oh dreary night! Oh grave of hope!
Oh sea, and dark Implying sky!
Full many wreck these waves shall claim
Ere such another heart shall die.
Alas, how can we help but mourn
When hero bOsOmS yield their breath,
A century itself may bear
But once the flower of such death.
So full of manliness-so sweet
With utmost duty nobly done
So thrOnged with deeds, so filled with lfe
AS though with death that life begun.
1t has begun true gentleman!
No better life we ask for thee.
Thy Viking soul and woman heart,
For ever shall beacon be
A starry thought to veering souls,
To teach it is not best to live
To show that life has nought to match
Such knighthood as the grave can give.
