hut deeper than all Is the sadness
That bruods lrola her hills to the sea,
And hushod l. the last lone OF slnaness,
Since death waved his scepire Ger Lee
kentucky, pe,plexcd on the border,
How stands thy account with the brave
Thy sons-wiil they spurn the "new oIder,
And gather with Us al the grave!
Let the shades OF "Old Hickory" number
Thy rifles that flashed fof the free
Let partisan faction now slumber
Aud mourn Tor the great ch.eitain, Lee
Beautiful Louisiana,
Realm Of the cotton and cane,
Now son on each vcrinnt savanna,
Steals muurniuily onward the silnin.
Each field aud dew-Spansled meadow,
Ea.h fountain TINT rolls TO the sen,
Grows saa in the scowl OF the shadow
That looms in the death of cur Lee.
And Maryland, mother OF Howard
OF Carroll, Of May, and Of Key,
Sweet land that ne or nurterOd a coward,
Now what nee VIC say unto thee!
While Potomac rolls on to the ocean,
And Chesapeake kisses the sea,
Oh come with heart felt emotion,
Aud mourn At the grave Of our Lee.
Missouri, redeem thy IDEAL,
Come back to thy faith and thy love:
And let the dark cloud Of the real
Thy soul from its lcrhnrgy move.
Remember the days of thy glory,
Remember the b,nye and the free;
Let Shelby and Price tell the story.
And honor the great name OF Lee.
From the realm of the rich Mississippi
Where the cotton was picked by the slave,
a requiem asccndeth to Heaven,
Wrung out from the hearts of the brave.
In the wall of her sad desolation
Now hushed is her joy and glec;
While hers swclls the grief of a nation
That mourns for the loss of our Lee.
On the plains of Old North Carolina,
The home of full many a brave,
While tymuny's letters coniine her
10 y doom worse than that Of II slave.
While her sons and her daughters are
weeping
That oppression should laugh o or the free,
The full tide OF woe is now sweeping
All thoughts TO the memory Of Lee.
On the rice fields Of South Carolina,
Where Africn's flag is unfurled,
Where the jc, of n PILLS and Dinah
Now vie with the queens Of the world,
A still deeper gloom is now stealing
al ali, a ri
Aud depth in the deeps of her feeling
Is stirred by the death of our Lee
Come, Tennessee, join in orr Numbers,
And help in cur requiem strain;
The shade Of the hero that slunbers
Deserve now thy deepest refrain.
While greatness is honored for ever,
Aud virtue immortal must he,
Come stand by the beautiful river
And hang up trophy to Lee.
The daughters of Texas a. c saddened
While her sons feel the terrible blow
Each hall that with joy was once gladdened
Is draped in the cercmenis of woe.
We come with our Offering of sorrow,
And humby we now bend the knee;
We feel that our night hath no morrow
The grave will not give up our Lee.
Virginia, proud cold Dominion"
"Queen of the cliff and the wavo,"
No slime from the kiss of a minion
Has sullied the hue of thy brave.
But still in the high courts of glory
Thy records the kind angels keep,
And the sod is still dew-bright in story
Where the ashes of Washington sleep"
Blest mother of heroes and sagcs,
Whose fame shall but brighten with years,
Whose names through long line of ages
A nation shall hallow with tears,
Thy Lee is now on thy bosom
Where Washington slumbered before,
Their dust shall but mingle 10 blossom
Till time and its sorrows are Ger.
But the portals of Heaven are swinging!
A spirit from Earths at the door
And cIoIrs of angels are singing,
"Come rest now in bliss evermorc."
And far on those upper heights laden
With flowers immortal and free,
Meath the sweet-gleaming splendors of
