And—last—the seat no more his own,

But Honor’s; patriot grave-yards fill

The forfeit slopes of that patrician hill,

And fling a shroud on Arlington.

The oaks ancestral all are low;

No more from the porch his glance shall go

Ranging the varied landscape o’er,

Far as the looming Dome—no more.

One look he gives, then turns aside,

Solace he summons from his pride:
