The miscellaneous works of David Humphreys | ||
Daughters of mem'ry! maids! whose vigils keep
The lamps unquench'd in vaults where heroes sleep;
As round the quivering flame ye tuneful watch,
Their names from death and dumb oblivion snatch:
Then Time, who meets Eternity, shall find
What patriot-chiefs—examples for mankind—
Stood boldly foremost—Bards! the high song raise,
And with their names immortalize your lays!
The lamps unquench'd in vaults where heroes sleep;
As round the quivering flame ye tuneful watch,
Their names from death and dumb oblivion snatch:
Then Time, who meets Eternity, shall find
What patriot-chiefs—examples for mankind—
Stood boldly foremost—Bards! the high song raise,
And with their names immortalize your lays!
