Cold eyes, that o'er his features range,

For time had wrought a weary change

Upon the soldier's brow.

And some there were—the lov'd—the dead—

Whom he no more could see,

From this cold changing world were fled,

And they had found a quiet bed

Beneath the old yew tree.

And thither too—the wanderer hied,

Night-dews were falling fast,
