The Death-day of William Court.
lnnd Prentice.
BY GEO. d. PRENTICE.

Once more come at set of sun
10 sit beside thee, long lost one;
TO muse upon thy joyous prime
In that dear, unforgotten time,
When thou didst bound DER hills and
plains,
Life running wild in ali thy veins,
aud thou in manhood's young estate
| Did st aimos seem to challenge fate.
Thine eagle-spirit ever scared
| Where thunders broke and tempest roared
Through battles flame and smoke itd dashed
Where bayonets cleaned and sabres
clashed;
But ali a fatal shaft was sped,
| And thou vast with the stricken dead;
| Now thou art here beneath these clods,
Struck by mans lightning, not by Gods.
Dear Courtland, thou, the strong, the
brave,
Fullest warriors bloody grave;
| The soil above thee, wet with showers,
| Gives birth to sweetund beauteous flowers;
| But cen the white roses to my view
Bears in its veins crimson hue,
As if its mournful essence came
From the red death- wounds of thy fame.
Thou sleepest well The bugle-note
OF battle may above thee float.
The tramp ofcharging hosts around
May like an earthquake shake the ground
The lannon's voice, the victors shout,
May through the sul phurous ar peal out,
But thou wilt sleep amid the roar
No power but Gods can wake thee more.
Perchance, when fallen in the strife,
Thy young lips breathed prayer for life,
Perchance thy heart heaved one deep sigh
To think that thou so soon must die,
But, had it been thy lot to know
The coming triumph of thy foe.
HSdst thou foreseen, all rent and riven,
The canse to which thy soul WAS giveE,
Foreseen the flag, thy guide, thy star,
Trailed low behind the conqueror's car,
Foreseen fierce desoation's stride,
DER the bright land that was thy pride,
Foreseen hill, plain, and vale, and wood,
Swept a. by storms of fire and blood,
The cline whore Heavens best blessings
Changed by mans passions to a hell,
It's homes where joy and love erst met,
by hunger's bowling wolves beset,
It, human forms like skeletons,
Its streams like ghostly Phegothons,
Thou would'st have best with latest brea tn
kind God for his Angel, Death.
Thy form is in this sacred spot,
Thy memory and thy soul are not;
Thy name high hearts will love to keep
Through all thy lone and solemn sleep.
Oft bards have strung and bards will string
Their sweet and holy Tyres to fling
Pure song wreaths evermore to bloom
Like amaranths upon thy tomb,
And thoughts of thee in deep souls lie
Like golden clouds in Autumn's sky.
Bright ones will sigh-the young, the old
When thy young destiny is told,
Thy laurels, with soft heart-dews wet,
Brighten as suns shall rise and set
And tear founts heave and swell to thee
AS to yon moon the heaving sea.
