But 'twas something to see its cliffs once more, And to lay his bones on his own loved shore ; To think that the friends of his youth might weep O'er the green grass turf of the soldier's sleep. The bugles ceased their wailing sound As the coffin was lowered into the ground; A volley was fired, a blessing said, One moment's pause — and they left the dead! — I saw a poor and an aged man, His step was feeble, his lip was wan : He knelt him down on the new-raised...
