A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF

EDWARD MARSH HEAVISIDES.

7

Come, mourn with me! The harp we loved to hear
Is voiceless now; and, oh! with tears deplore
That he who swept its chords shall waken here
Its tones no more!

Lost in the freshness of his early fame,

How

green and fair the Poet's wreath he wore ! That wreath shall bloom when many a boasted name Shall be no more!

He sleeps, but not as they who pass away
Unknown, are lost; for time shall still restore
Sad Memory's tears, till men at length shall say,-
We are no more!

Thus doth our sorrow deepen with our years!
And as we wander on Life's dreary shore,
These constant tidings reach our mournful ears,—
They are no more!

The kindred mind-the tried and faithful breast-
The dear familiar friend in days of yore—
And they of brighter promise than the rest,—
Alas! no more!

Yet, blissful thought! though such from earth depart,
And we who linger grieve that all is o'er,
Faith whispers sweetly to the joyless heart-

They grieve no more!
