WRITTEN BY To0-QuA-sTEE
Great man Or wondrous, should sayY
For like a comet bursting into sight
Launched unexpected on It's artic way,
Through boundless fields of rayless polar night
Eclipsing consultations In its flight
A flaming orb thou vert, and unforetold,
Whose distance, altitude, and awful size,
No man, no kalendar however old,
Could tell; and sweeping through the frgid skies,
In its own distance fades from human eyes.
So thou, Sequoyah, from thy Makers hand,
Vast hurled prodlglous through the skies OF time,
Untaught, original, and strangely grand,
Thy mighty genius rose and shone sublime,
The wonder Of all eyes In every cline.
Twas meet that, when thy day spent the ground
Should fail to give thy sacred ashes room;
No low-built grave for thee shall e'er be found
Beneath the sky; 'tis needless to lnhume
Sun gone out-the universe It's tomb.

They'll call you a rogue in a sly, sneaking way,
But don't get exclted-keep perfectly COOL

But keep straight ahead there's naught to be made
