Farewell. brave aud noble soldier,
Volunteers that arms now shoulder,
Thuush they fail their spirits meet U-,
Round the hearth where loved ones greet us.
Ave wc miss thee when the moOnh"amS
Sad n,nng shadows III the dew Eiuuins,
For thy vuic. il hurhed that willing
Pressed our cuuntry's cause how thrilling.
Agri.parents moved with sorrow.
ic1r had known thee fears to borrow,
Saw thee ir,v. thy happy homestead,
Bit TO sink beneath thy hl o lshei,
But thry bless thy noble daring,
Bless tn" breast 80 bravrly bearing,
Bless the arm defence had nerved,
For it nc'cr from duty swcrvcd.
Aud Ills sweet when they remember,
That thy life So short should render,
An example Ia the careless,
Whn, tho brave Of Hcartn werc h"i"'eS'
Farewell, ycs thy grave is numbered
With the Avengers that have sunbcred
Strangers closed thy eyes " lille dying,
While our hearts for thee were signing
Tho the shadows bring dcuth.rall
OF we list to hear thy foot fall
For thy mem'ry lowering near ~,
Brings thee back, but thou Cansi hear us.
Ftrc.hrr. well, thou dearest COUSIN,
Nuw .hy heart lies cold and pulhrl"Ss,
All who loved thee weep in sadness,
Snh miss thy tones OF gla'ln"Ss.
