Oh! we'll he earned his laurel crown,
For his native land be perished;
And well he reaped his fair renowu,
Who laid his brave life freely down
For the principles he cherished.
Those principles were noble, high,
Worth bleeding for and dying;
All! they do we'll who bravely die,
And rather in the cold grave lie,
Than live the truth denying.
And braved he oil for truth and right.
His young life gave up gladly
The best lie had, his being bright,
HIS opening manhood, in it's might,
Gave cheerfully, not sadly;
His golden hopes Of love and fame,
Which life 80 precious rendered,
Unto his country's highest claim,
Even her 10 Save from sorrow, shame,
ALI that was his he rendered
One stroke he gave in her defence;
lie blessed God for the honor;
What though twas at his life's expense,
lie grieved but, when God called him
hence,
That it no fame had won her.
And yet patriot-martyr's life
Is never lost nor wasted;
Fur more than all the battles strife,
His sacriflcini blood is rife,
In peace-Oh! Heaven, haste it.
Peace! that is really, truly, peace!
Peace! honorable, glorious;
When cruelty nnd wrong shall cease,
Aud virtue, piety increase,
Aud right shall be Dic:orious.
