Look from your sainted rest.

Tell us ye rose in Glory’s car,

To mingle with the blest;

Tell us how short the death-pang’s power,

How bright the joys of your immortal bower.

Strike the loud harp, ye minstrel train!

Pour forth your loftiest lays;

Each heart shall echo to the strain

Breathed in the warrior’s praise.

Bid every string triumphant swell
