In social halls a favored guest In years that follow victory won, How sweet to feel your festal fame, In woman's glance instinctive thrown: Repose is yours  your deed is known, It musks the amber wine; It lives, and sheds a litle from storied days Rich as October sunsets brown, Which make the barren place to shine. IN SOCIAL HALLS A FAVORED GUEST IN YEARS THAT FOLLOW VICTORY WON HOW SWEETLY TO FEEL YOUR FESTAL FAME IN WOMAN'S GLANCE INSTINCTIVE THRONE REPOSE IS YOURS YOUR DEED IS KNOWN IT MUSKS THE AMBER WINE IT LIVES IN SHEDS A LITTLE FROM STORIED DAYS RICH AS OCTOBER SUNSET'S BROWN WHICH MAKE THE BARREN PLACE TO SHINE
eams such close the eye. But withering famine slowly wore, And slowly fell disease did gloat. Even Nature’s self did aid deny; They choked in horror the pensive sigh. Yea, off from home sad Memory bore (Though anguished Yearning heaved that way), Lest wreck of reason might befall. As men in gales shun the lee shore, Though there the homestead be, and call, And thitherward winds and waters sway-- As such lorn mariners, so fared they. But naught shall now their peace molest. Their fame is this: they did endure-- Endure, when fortitude was vain To kindle any approving strain Which they might hear. To these who rest, This healing sleep alone was sure. Commemorative of a Naval Victory. Sailors there are of gentlest breed, Yet strong, like every goodly thing; The discipline of arms refines, And the wave gives tempering. The damasked blade its beam can fling; It lends the last grave grace: The hawk, the hound, and sworded nobleman In Titian’s picture for a king, Are of Hunter or warrior race.
