Has sunk to its rest in its lowly bed, We knew him-and oft has he bared that breast That heaves no more in its silent rest; And we marked there the scars that had seam'd it o'er In the battle's charge in the days of yore, But his name and his deeds have gone down to the tomb, And his story is wrapp'd in oblivion's gloom, And thus shall it be when a few years have pass'd With the sires of our land-we shall weep o'er the last, And no hand will pluck the rank grass away From the mouldering mound and the head-stone grey.
