A bove that wind -swept, cOnsecrs ted grave,

For IN that sammy south Dis surely well
the olive speaks of peace the yictOTs have
When the night falletn and the fight vas brave,
And the tall cypress stands sentinel.
Yet his own England claims her share of him
For burned in the heart of many n friend

Men yet unborn some thought OF him will blend
With thoughts of England ami her people rise.

In the bright Indian summer of his fame!
simple stone with but date and name,
Marks his eeelnSed resting place beside
The river that he loved and glorified.
Here in the autumn of his days he came,
But the dry leaves of life were all aflame
With tints that frightened and were multiplied
How sweet a life Was his; how sweet DEATH
Living to wing with mirth the weary hours,
Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leave a memory ike the breath
OF summers full of sunshine and of showers,
A grief ana sladness in the atmosphere.
