Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in shade,
Where cold and unhonored his relics are laid:
Sad, silent, and dark, be the tears that we shed,
the night-dew that falls on the grass o'er his head.
But the night-dew that falls, tho' in silence it weeps,
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps;
the tear that we shed, tho' in secret it rolls,
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls.
