A DIRGE—FOR GE\. K. E. LEE.
BT ANNIE It. BLUNT.
Why arc the bells tolling so mournfully
slow,
And why all this sombre insigna of woe,
While a murmur of voices tremulous low,
Tells the tale of some stern despair !
From Potomac far out to the broad Rio
Grande,
A wail of deep sorrow swells forth tlir’gh
the land,
And the heroes of yore for a time are un
manned,
While their hearts join as one in a
prayer,
And the lightning sad tidiugs bears o'er
the blue sea,
The South mourns her Chieftain—the
south weeps for Lee ?
In every green hamlet and village and
town,
In every proud city the head is bowed
down
For a whisper from mouth unto mouth has
crept round,
A rumor too sad for belief.
Yet too cruelly true, for the swift-winged
wire
Has crushed with a word the gray-hair
ed sire,
And the maid and the youth, with eyes of
fire,
All bow to the despot—grief!
’Tis Aautumn —time of the falling leaf,
And the whole South mourns for her fall
en Chief,
Hushed in the city—a spell is cast
O’er its busy trade—all dags at half-mast,
As if the spirit of Death had passed
Through each late noisy street.
Each hall is dffiped in the trappings of
gloom,
Hark! the knoll of bells and the cannon’s
boom.
Each sad stroke falls as the knell of doom,
Add the tramp of a thousand.feet
Follows the hearse—meet emblem of woe,
B eeping time to the music’s solemn flow.
Oh 1 well may the world speak with bated
breath,
Ohfi well may the South wear a cypress
wreath,
For the bravest knight is laid low by
death
That his keen scythe ever mowed down.
As brave as Napoleon, his fame bears no
stain —
He fought not for glory —he fought not
for gain,
Nor waded o’er thousads of gory slain,
To grasp at a kingly crown.
Os all the proud names history’s pages
bears but one
That can rank with our Lee —our own
Washington!
His sword dashed in the battle but to de
fend [friend—
Our land from the foe, once deemed a
From a foe who with ruthless hand would
rend
The stars from our Southern Cross.
Oh! “men of the Grey,” your great leader
lies low’—
The Southland is ruled by a merciless
foe,
And his patniot heart could not master the
blow,
But broke with his Country’s loss.
Their Captain has followed that brave
martyred host,
Who gave up their lives for the cause we
have lost!
In vain our confederacy sent forth her
pride
To stem the fierce waves of the usurping
tide; —
Like heroes they lived—and like heroes
they died !
Led on by Jackson and Lee.
They fought—but oh ! gainst what fear
ful odds,
They fought—not like men—but like gi
ants, like gods,
Their blood poured like wine on Virgin
ia’s sods, —
These patriot’s born to bo free;
Hundreds ’gainst thousands —the ground
heaped with slain,
But the tiower of our Chivalry perished iu
vain
Yet oh! not in vain , tlio’ our banner is furl
ed,
TTnconquered we stand in the eyes of the
world,
Our sacred cause in our hearts impearled
As long as those hearts shall beat.
Our Chieftain Lee in his fame’s noontide,
Has followed Jackson—our country's
pride—
Across Death’s wave on the other side
At the great Law-Giver’s feet.
They will pray that Thy raiubow, Lord,
may shed
Its rays on the South’s now crownless
head!
Boom! Boom! — list the cannon’s mourn
ful roar!
The sound is echoed from shore to shore;
For a king among men shall lift no more
The sword so lately sheathed.
Is this the close of his grand career,
Shall tyrants no more turn pale with fear
The bugle notes of our chief to hear?
Oh! Southland, cypress-wreathed!
Well may ye mourn for that gallant form,
Our star of hope in battle’s storm!
no. as.
A still, clear day!—'tis a fitting time
In the calm October’s glorious prime—
No sound but the music's solemn chime,
And the cannou’s mournful boom —
To look our last on that lordly fuce,
To bear the earth-born to earth’s embrace,
The kuightliest of a knightly race
To lay in the silent tomb;
"While—as one man—in hushed despair.
The whole South kneels in a mutual pray
er!
Oh! honored of ages! 0! Savored of
Fame I
How pure thy record ?—uo shade of blame,
Ev’r stained the sheen of thy kuightly
name,
Aye eveu the generous foe
Will weave a garland to deck thy bier K
And far-off nations when they shall hear
Will slu -1 on they listen a sorrowing tear.
That the South’s great Chief lies low’
And the “heroes in grey’ —an orphan
band—
Will mourn anew o'er their stricken land.
Oh! pillow him gently upon thy breast,
Virginia, thou mother of heroes!—the best
And the saintliest now takes his wcllearn
ed rest
Cm thy hallowed and blood-etaincd
shore.
The ceaseless crash of the minute gun,
From the Jtoutk to the land of the setting
sun,
Tells us our Chieftain’s work is done,
And his heart’s warm throbbing o’er !
Oh ! Southland women! Your tears shall
be
A lasting tablet to Robeut Lee !
