IN MEMORIAM.
Whose deep mantle a clang of art rendered yesterday.
Toll! Oh, toll the bells!
Awoke a nation to joyous.
For from the womb of night the morn gave birth.
Toll! Oh, toll the bells!
To most unscathed progeny of woe.
Drape the starry flag
That waved high.
Victories.
That eventide.
Anguishes;
Drape the starry:
Hangs the flag of our land of death.
For out of.
Weep, O weep:
For he who might be.

In proud escort.
Sweetest peace,
