Death of the Prince Imperial.

Frince is sad to-day.
Many heart beats low
Words that the passer stops to say
Come lngeringly and slow.
Paris weeps to-day;
London echoes her sigh
"He went on noble quest they say
" Alas! that he went to die"
France tor England fights,
A Frenchman for England dies
Saddest OF all sorrowful sights;
Spring, quick tears, to the eyes!
The Prince Imperial died,
Not in the heat of strife,
With noble hearts on every side,
Nor sword to sword in honor and prido,
But gaspod away his life,
Done to death in the desolate land
Bya savage and treacherous band.
Prone he lies in the long, dank grass,
His insignia OF rank is gone;
Stript and dying ho lies, alas!
In the wilderness land alone.
What Is the thought that fills his soul
As the blue sky draws his last faint glance!
Two words alone his thoughts control,
"Mother" and France"
".
. How the knoll swept over the sea,
Heard with doubt and fear Mt first;
When it was known a certainty
"Who will tell it at Chiselhurst?"
They sent the word, the dolorous word,
To the stately mother who safe alone;
Woe, OH woe Tor tho tidings heard,
Who shall comfort her for her son?
Va
Sho has wept and iasted sore,
Sitting to weep and fast alone
Camo queer. TO her barred door,
Fain with her would make her moan:
All great queen, on thy mother eyes
Tho tears OF sorrow arc hardly dried,
Well OF you, in friendly glise
To sit this sorrowing heart beside.
Naught to say and naught to do,
Sorrows roots pierce far too deep;
Only keep her close to you
Hold the iast-clenched hands and weep.
vi.
Mourn, kind hearts, from shore to shore,
For the brave young life that's fed
Who can tell what golden store
OF hopes apd plans lie with him dead
Hopes OF glory and deathless lame,
Hopes oiiortune nobly won,
A country's love, well earned name, .
Guerdons given tor great deeds done,
Fled like dream when one awakes,
Lost to thought like tale that's told.
And still the world the same road takes,
Changing over the new time to the old.
VII.
Princes OF earth return to dust,
Kingdoms shake with rude alarms,
,Naughtis there in which TO trust
Wisdom, strength or cunning arms.
Turned like the dice by the player thrown,
Vain and slight seem all earthly things;
One doth guide and rule alone
The Lord of Lords, the King of Kings!
