Not drum was heard, not funcral note,
As his corpse to the barn-yard we hurried;
Not a soldier discharged farewell shot
Der the grave whore poor ducky was buried.
We buried him darby, at dead Of night,
The sod with the barn-shoyel turning;
BY the struggling moon-bcam's misty light
And the lantern dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Nor in sheet, nor in shroud We wound him
But he lay like deod daek taking his rest,
With his tail-fcathcrs scattered around him.
We thought, as we followed his narrow bed,
And smoothed down his poor crippled wings,
What lesson twould be- Il the fools who had
striven
To reach unatiainabb things.
Few and short were the prayers wo said,
And we spoke not word Of sorrow,
For wc knew that h d he not has been inferred,
He would have ma ic our dinner tomorrow.
But half of our heavy work wac through,
When the clock told the hour for retiring,
And we learned by chandeliers ooeasioAal

That the sun would soon be rising.
