Soft and low with mournful cadence

Breathing faint its tender love-note
Where lie,
And bending near to my dull ear
In the grave,
Twill kiss. the sod. and gently make
The tall grass wave.
There, too, bright warbling birds will turn
To make their home,
Secure in that neglected place.
Noharm can come;
And glowing suns shall warm that mound
Where do rest,
The earth grow green, the vlolets blow
Upon my breast
Seeking with beauty and perfume
To stir again
The old responsive throb, but now
They seek in vain
The wondrous harp of many strings
All tuneless lies,
It's smitten chord no answer brings,
Not even -sighs.
Yet, will the moon still shed her beam
On that lone spot,
Waking with psnsiye light the name
OF one-forgot;
The stars themselves, look plying down
From their far skies.
To read the little lot Of man
With glistning eyes.

Fond nature there, her guard shall keep
Over my head,
And all things bright, and pure, and fair,
Shelter me-dead :
