I pause, and drop the silent tear,—

In mournful tones, a voice I hear,

Exclaiming, "Earth affords no space

For Judson's last calm resting place."

Ye spicy groves, perfume each breeze

That steals along the Indian seas,—

For we have felt a pang of woe,

Since, plunged in awful depths below,

Our much lamented Judson's clay,

Must 'neath its rolling billows lay,
