By Nebo’s lonely mountain, # On this side Jordan's wave, . In a vale in the laud of Moab, There lies a Janely grave. •, And no man dug that sepulchre, \ And no man saw it e’er ; For the angels of God upturned the sod, And laid the dead man there. . . • * • That was the grandest funeral That ever passed on earth, But no man heard the trampling, * Or saw the forth. Noiselessly as the daylight • Comes when tfyg night is done,.* • And the crimson on'ocean’sfeheek Grows into the great sun. Noiselessly as the spring time Her crown of verdure weaves, And all the trees on all the hills Open their thousand leaves ; So, without sound of music, Or voice of them that wept, Silently down from the mountain’s crovrn, The’great procession swept. P-erchance the bald old eagle, On grey Beth-peor’s height,- Out of his rocky eyrie Looked on the wondrous sight. • Perchance the lion stalking, Still shuns that hallowed spot; , For beast and bird have seen and heard That which man not. ” But when the warrior dieth, . His comrades in the was, - * , With arms reversed and muffed drugi,* * Follow the funeral car. . # They show the banners taken,* 9 •* They tell liis battles \yon, \ And after hiit lead his masteJJl-QSS steed, While peals the minute gun. Amid the noblest of the land Men lay the sage to rest, And give the honored bard a place With costly marble drest, In the great minster transept, Where light like glories fall, And the sweet choir sings, and the organ rings Along the emblazoned wall. This was the bravest warrior That ever buckled sword ; This was the most gifted poet That ever breathed a word ; And never earth’s philosopher Traced with his golden pen On the deathless page; truths half so sage As he wrote down for men. And had he not high honor ? The hill-side for his pall, SOUTHERN BAPTIST MESS EN G E It. To lie in state where angels wait With stars for tapers tall ; And the dark rock pines, like tossing plumes, Over his bier to wave, And God’s own hand in that lonely land, To lay him in the grave 1 In that deep grave without a name, ,Whence his uncoffined clay Shall break again, most wondi’ous thought, Before the Judgment Day; And stand with glory wrapt around > .On the hills’he never trod, And s|*eak of the strife that won our life, • •Withjth’ Incarnate Son of God. • 0, fpnely tc%b in Moab’s land, Q, dark Beth-peor’s hill, Speak to tfiese curious hearts of ours, And teach them t® be still. God hath his mysteries of grace, Ways that we cannot tell; He hides them deep, like the secret sleep Os him he loved so'well. * Lines. - Let us speak of a man as ye find him, .
