Xiike To soldier lay a comrade s in a fig low ht we ; stand
As Sho if t upon by some this forei cruel foe land _. Our And exile thou is a the battle first -field to fall , :
W O e ne hav hope e one , one cause aim w ,, for canno all ! t yield ,
In Th Eng honored land where lace the shall wild be flowers bloom ;
_No With land y dearer can claim ri p h to t than hold she thy ! tomb Rest here then : rest g where thou hast died :
In Where British thou ground hast , our striven grea , test rest pride :
Shall love to know thee best . These It blows leaves these are stirred by throug the h same air ,
. The Poet same and that Rebel playe grasses too d with Milton , ' s hair , ;
And Cromwell ' s banners have been stirred And On this the same same quiet breeze spot to fl has y , heard
His horses tramping by . And to the self-same shining skies
The W hose trio li t g h y t dney was dear raised to his him eyes , With grief and anguish dim .
And often on that hill we see , From Did Russell tearful ' s glances wifewho fall waslike thee
Her captive husband , ' s all . , , This These land first we know these is noble still F their our own ,
So when we lea , ve thee here alone ; They shall watch bthdoor ! ,
And those who to thy y spiri y t gave Aid , strength , and t aim t so long ,
The Freedom y also shall and w Love ain and ear Song hy grave I , Farewell ! since round thy grave should ring
The Music earliest ' s me larks lodious shall sound near , it sing , Scattering sweet notes around
; And The the breeze sea breeze that loves shall the _whisiDer free near , , here
And The dry tears —when they p shed ilgrims for mourn thee I thee _—>
