No marvel here! Two kingliest come not haply born and twinned-- Each age its one great soul, nor matched, nor twinned, Owning no mortal peer-- So is his glory in our age unkinned. His mantle fell-- On whom is not yet shown--yet sure its folds Are buried not--its rich and loving folds Shall lay some blessed spell On him who most his noble spirit holds. Great chieftain! rest! Our hearts shall go as pilgrims to thy tomb; Our spirits mourn and bless thy martyr tomb; We deem thy lot is blest; Our love shall rob our sorrow of its gloom. All coming time Shall ne’er despoil thy glory of its crown-- Each year shall set its jewels in thy crown-- Each day bell’s passing chime Shall add a tongue to speak thy just renown. WASHINGTON, D. C.
