R
Let the pines murmur o’er your grave,
Your dirge be in the moaning wave—
We call you back no more!
In your own vales a deep-toned knell,
An agony, a wild farewell;—
But that hath long been o’er.
The hills keep record of your name,
And never can a touch of shame
Darken the buried brow.
When bright names from their place fall fast
And ye that with your glory passed,
We cannot mourn you now.
