Quiet he lies, Cold, with his sightless faco Turned to the skies. Tis but another dead;

All you can say is said.

Carry his body hence, ----

Kings must have slaves; Kings climb to eminence

Over men's graves; So this man's eye is dim; Throw the earth over him.

What was the white you touched,

There, at his side?

Paper his hand had clutched Tight ere he died; Message or wish, may bes-

Emooth the folds out and see.

Hardly the worst of us

Here could have smiled!

Only the tremulons.

"Words of a child';- Prattle, that has for stops Just a few ruddy drops.

Look! She is sad to miss

Morning and night, His-her dead father's-kiss;

Tries to be bright,

Good to mamma, and sweet.

That is all.Marguerite."

Ah! if beside the dead

Slumbered the pain? Ah, if the hearts that bled

Bopt with the slain!
