On Nyack’s shore the mighty Hudson flows,

And on its banks the weeping willow grows;

A wood-embowered spot thus shaded o’er,

Lies half-concealed, sloping toward the shore.

Beneath the willows which are growing there,

Repose the forms of those once young and fair;

The aged, too, here rest in mystic sleep,
