When crumbled are their bones—their ashes on the wind:

And those who left the venerated breast,

And soil of proud New England, to reclaim

Our smiling El Dorado of the West

From centuries of gloom, and haunts of game

Change to Arcadian lovelines, and tame

The virgin rudeness of the shaded mould,

Should not be unremembered:—on the same

Eternal page where Fame, in lines of gold,

Hath pilgrim virtue traced, their names should be enrolled.
