That rises mid the landscape green,
Now river, brook and upland fount
GLADDEN. it with their summer sheen;
There lived and died the man who wrote
That declaration plain and strong,
With soul to honesty devote,
That Unborn rights to all belong.
We muse that long-true, free-born souls
To his enthusiasm wrought

By realms his spirit shall be caught.
And cities full call solitudes,
While solitude to those repl-,

At last in all the earth shall die.
Approach with reverent steps and slow.
And speechless by the honored dead,
Aspire his lofty soul to know
In freedoms ways who foremost led.
