In Memoriam.
Upon the pinnacle of earthly Fame His name for ever stands in bold relief , As Nature ' s Nobleman and Mankind ' s Friend . * * * * #
The loved ones left to Aveep , such anguish feel As draws forth tears from loving Angels' eyes ; A world's condolence soothes , but Time alone Can soften down our reverential grief . Brave wife , poor widow , thy devoted care Availed not ; a task of love , well done ,
That added glory to thy womanhood . The Martyr ' s halo round thy Hero's head ,. O ' ershadows thine with loving lustrous grace ; And his distinguished life and name the world Will ne ' er forget ; but Cleveland ' s hallowed shrine Shall serve to mark the cherished spot where rest
The mortal relics honoured as a King ' s . When great men die , we greet with deep respect Those near and dear to them ; this loyal act , Or loving- tribute paid by willing hearts , Is balm indeed , and comforts pining souls . For Garfield's fate the millions freely mourned ;
All ranks were touched with pity sad , sincere . Our Queen , Beloved Victoria , foremost was To show how greatly Majesty was moved . Her kindly heart each feeling message sent , Replete with hope until the bitter end . Then sweet compassion ' s tender words went forth From heart to heart , engend'ring peace and love . The bonds of life are often closer drawn
When ruthless Death asserts his cruel power . A Ruler dies , the nation feels its loss , And doubly so when foul play wreaks its will . The deed is done- —the victim ' s slain—what good ? For grief and sorrow are the sole result . We have no words but those of love and praise
Wherewith to speak of Garfield ' s honoured name : A future Age , with universal tongue , Shall tell the tale of dastard crime , and paint The Hero ' s worth in language full of Truth .
