IN MRMoR OF U. s. @.

IN MEMORY OF Z, s. G.
Brave hero! sleep in peace, at last,
No reveille will break your rest,
No wars alarm-no bugle's blast
No pageant, pomp, or gathering host,
Disturb one pulse; dear friends may weep,
And comrades, OF your valor boast
And sentinels their vigil keep
In peace, at home, above the jars
OF earth-a and stern alarm OF wars,
Brave hero rest,
His sword is sheathed; at rest his arms,
BY him neglected now may rust.
No conquest more Of earth hath charms,
10 stir or wake his silent dust.
From out the dark, and lists of earth.
Leaving his sword, and bier, and cross,
He rises tlro' that 'Blessed Birth"
To victories, and feels no loss:
Mid starry realms, by angels crowned
We trust our soldier now lie found,
In peace at home.
He leaves a record of his deeds
His memoirs tho incomplete
Thro' many scenes and native leads
A treasure to his country mete
Rest Hero! Soldier, Leader, rest!
A painless glory now be thine!
A %conqueror among the blest,-
While Amaranthine garlands Irvine
Thy brow;-and Heavens glories shed
A sacred halo round thy head,
In Heaven thy home.
