(From the New York Tribune.)
Unto how few the fadeless bays
Belong! How few the iron crown
Of virtue wear! And few the lays
That bear a hero's honor down
Untarnished to the latest days!
Yet there was one but now who breathed,
Faithful to trust, and in that hour
Summoned, he laid down life, bequeathed
To all good men his good deed's power,
