They with quiescent wings Fan the black air ; while music slow from strings Unseen, is set adrift and wanders everywhere. Beneath their feet the eternal surge is rolled To yon bright-peopled shore, Under whose pillared palms and trembling leaves Heroes of old [of gold Wait with the brave hearts of our civil fray To greet their old Commander on his way, And talk of valorous deeds that live forevermore. Carry thence gently our immortal friend. Ye that have charge of him ; he soon will wake, For n...earer and more loud the anthems break. His journey's end Lies yonder — there is his eternal rest. With trumpets gather his compatriot bands, And, as he wakens on his pilot's breast, GLORIA V1CTIS. Crown ye the loved one's head ! And lead him to the many-jeweled sands Where stand the illustrious dead. Here lies the tenantless clay ; Its transient guest is gone, the noble-hearted ; Beside this pale form sits to-day His Nation, bowed, and mourns the spark departed. All hearts are hushed in presence of deep sorrow ; All souls are bent beneath one mighty wave; Dreams of wealth are put by till to-morrow, And pausing millions lend a sobered ear To dirge-like voices drifting from the grave.
