MOUNT VERNON.
A voice upon the breeze,Mount Vernon's cypress sighs,
Where, “being dead, he speaketh yet,”
Who there in honor lies—
He who on record high
Inscribed such stainless part,
The first in War, the first in Peace,
First in his Country's heart!
L. Huntley Sigourney.
Hartford, Connecticut, February 10, 1864.
