So swell’d the chant; and the deep wind’s moan,

Seem’d through the cedars to murmur—“Gone!

“Brother! by the rolling Rhine

Stands the home that once was thine;

Brother! now thy dwelling lies

Where the Indian arrow flies!

He that bless’d thine infant head

Fills a distant greensward bed;

She that heard thy lisping prayer

Slumbers low beside him there;
