DEATH OF GEN. JACKSON
—AN EULOGY.
Hark! from the mighty hero's tomb
I hear a voice proclaim,
A sound which fills the world with gloom,
But magnifles his name.
I hear a voice proclaim,
A sound which fills the world with gloom,
But magnifles his name.
His flight from time let braves deplore,
And wail from State to State,
And sound abroad from shore to shore,
The death of one so great.
And wail from State to State,
And sound abroad from shore to shore,
The death of one so great.
He scorned to live a captured slave,
And fought his passage through;
He dies, the prince of all the brave,
And bids the world adieu.
And fought his passage through;
He dies, the prince of all the brave,
And bids the world adieu.
Sing to the memory of his power,
Ye vagrant mountaineers;
Ye rustic peasants drop a shower
Of love for him in tears.
Ye vagrant mountaineers;
Ye rustic peasants drop a shower
Of love for him in tears.
He wields the glittering sword no more,
With that trans-piercing eye;
Ceases to roam the mountain o'er
And gets him down to die.
With that trans-piercing eye;
Ceases to roam the mountain o'er
And gets him down to die.
63
Still let the nation spread his fame,
While marching from his tomb,
Aloud let all the world proclaim,
Jackson forever bloom.
While marching from his tomb,
Aloud let all the world proclaim,
Jackson forever bloom.
No longer to the world confined,
He goes down like a star,
He sets and leaves his friends behind,
To rein the steed of war.
He goes down like a star,
He sets and leaves his friends behind,
To rein the steed of war.
Hark! from the mighty hero's tomb
I hear a voice proclaim,
A sound which fills the world with gloom,
But magnifies his name.
I hear a voice proclaim,
A sound which fills the world with gloom,
But magnifies his name.
