A hero past that fatal “bourn

From whence no traveller returns;”

Before him none more good, more great,

E’er felt the unerring shafts of fate,

Though glory’s lamp illume their urns.

Behold yon pallid war-worn chief,

A marble monument of grief,

Who once our troops to victory led;—

The burst of sorrow now control,

But now the tears of anguish roll,
