Returns to deck their hallow'd mould,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
There Honour comes, a pilgrim gray,
By fairy hands their knell is rung;
And Freedom shall a while repair,
By all their country's wishes bless'd!
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
To dwell a weeping hermit there.
