But while we shrink from such a grave,

He rests as sweetly 'neath the wave

As though in Auburn's bowers he lay,

Where sunbeams through green branches play,

And roses, wet with tear drops, bloom

Around th' unconscious sleeper's tomb.

Let no rude wind, no angry storm,

The ocean's heaving breast deform,—

'Tis hallowed as dear Judson's bed,

Until the sea gives up its dead.
