On his lone hill his bones will lie,
Where first the morning sunlight CLEANS.
And grooming zephyrs low will sigh
Across the country of his dreams
Across the land that he would make
An empire blazoning his fame.
Though homes be lost and hearts must
break
/. To add fresh glory to his name.
SO on this hill. where flowers bloom,
Comes all the end of plants and
schemes
A lone. majestic, towering tomb
That overlooks his land of dreams.
A view of all the world II gives.
For all the world kept touch with him,
And still his daring dreaming Hives.
Though death has added colors grim.
This hill-for ages 1t has crowne
The land that in his dream was red.
Where now CLEAN white upon the ground
The grisly relics of the dead.
This hill-far from the beaten way,
Where shrill the vagrant night beast
screams,
Will stand forever n a day
A monument to one mans dreams.
