Chapter XV
“How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country’s wishes bless’d? * * * * * By fairy hands their knell is rung; By forms unseen their dirge is sung. There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there.” “How shall we rank thee upon glory’s page? Thou more than soldier, and just less than sage.”
