On *** ******'S Grave.
The spirit that it once enshrined Hath mounted swifter than the wind ; Hath gazed , oh , sun ! beyond thy sphere , Bounded thy limited career ; Outshining thee in glory far ! As comets pass the meanest star .
Tread softly—' mid this barren sand Lie relics of a bounteous hand , That , living , would have freely press'd The wandering brother to his breast , And fill'd a cup of gladness here . His lone and dreary path to cheer .
Oh , spare this dust ! it once was part Of an all-kind and bounteous heart ; If yet with vital power it glow'd , On thee its fullness would have flow'd . Tread softly—o ' er the sacred mound The badge of brotherhood is found .
Revere the signet on his breast—Its holiest virtue was confess'd ; He only lived on earth to prove Ihe fealty of a brother ' s love . If in thy bosom dwells the sign That marks our brotherhood divine , Give to this grave a holy tear , Thy friend—thy brother slumbers here . Winchester , September , 1834 .
