The Honored Dead
Hallowed by the memory of the honored dead
Who have nobly shed their blood to crush rebellio
against the Government. Let their names be held i
grateful remembrance, and their bereaved familie
comfortably provided for. The ode of Collins is familiar to mos
readers, but it is so beautiful and appropriate that it will bear re-perusal
How sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes blest
When Spring, with dewy finger cold
Returns to deck their hallowed mould
She there shall dress a sweeter so
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod
By fairy hands their knell is rung
By forms unseen their dirge is sung
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray
To bless the turf that wraps their clay
And Freedom shall a while repai
To dwell a weeping hermit there
(From the Newspaper the Ohio Journal, 1862.
