versed and banners craped-- Muffled drums; Snowy horses sable-draped-- McPherson comes. _But, tell us, shall we know him more, Lost-Mountain and lone Kenesaw?_ Brave the sword upon the pall-- A gleam in gloom; So a bright name lighteth all McPherson’s doom. Bear him through the chapel-door-- Let priest in stole Pace before the warrior Who led. Bell--toll! Lay him down within the nave, The Lesson read-- Man is noble, man is brave, But man’s--a weed. Take him up again and wend Graveward, nor weep: There’s a trumpet that shall rend This Soldier’s sleep. Pass the ropes the coffin round, And let descend; Prayer and volley--let it sound McPherson’s end. _True fame is his, for life is o’er-- Sarpedon of the mighty war._ At the Cannon’s Mouth. Destruction of the Ram Albermarle by the Torpedo-Launch. (October, 1864.)
