|
RELICS of the fallen brave! | |
| Tenants of an honour’d tomb! | |
| Conscious pride exalts the wave | |
| Whose swelling bosom bears you home. | |
| |
| Ocean hails you, gallant souls! | 5 |
| Now once more his realm you cross; | |
| And each billow as it rolls | |
| Moans an anthem for your loss. | |
| |
| Sons of Glory! Mighty Dead! | |
| Welcome to your parent land; | 10 |
| Softly here shall rest your head, | |
| Pillow’d by your brother’s hand. | |
| |
| LAWRENCE! LUDLOW! Sons of Fame! | |
| Here shall rise the sculptur’d stone; | |
| NOBLE IS THE HERO’S NAME, | 15 |
| GLORY CLAIMS IT AS HER OWN! | | | |
