richard mitchley - oliver wendell holmes - hymm for the celebration lyrics

Loading...

not with the anguish of hearts that are breaking
come we as mourners to weep for our dead;
grief in our br++sts has grown weary of aching
green is the turf where our tears we have shed

while o’er their marbles the mosses are creeping
stealing each name and its legend away
give their proud story to memory’s keeping
shrined in the temple we hallow to+day

hushed are their battle+fiеlds, ended their marchеs
deaf are their ears to the drum+beat of morn,++

rise from the sod, ye fair columns and arches
tell their bright deeds to the ages unborn!

emblem and legend may fade from the portal
keystone may crumble and pillar may fall;
they were the builders whose work is immortal
crowned with the dome that is over us all!
