Glorious on the battle-field
Glorious in the chair of state
When thy country found a shield
In thy arm to guard her fate ;
u!l more glorious art thu now
Gasping feebly for thy breath
While upon thy martial brow
Fast distil the dews of dcalh.
Though disease has sapped tiro form
And the lirhtninj from thine eve
Fades which through the battle's storm
Gleamed so bright and vali tally
Though thy voice whose clarion tons
Seitt to gallant hearts a thrill
As the line moved bravely on
Fainter grows and fainter still
Yet thv spirit bright as erst
Through the natherinij clouds of night'
liter the governor general had been onarcsuch tjmt he tariffand Jaws of Mexic(;
tO'er ihv country ky it hurst
Like a glorious beacon light;
Pure as when its ray was given
Though it hastens to its set
Tiil it pass away to heaven
It is all of Jackson yet !
Set it must but thy great name
Lingering here beneath the sky
Cherished for thy country's fame
Will not nay it cannot die !
'Living through each future age
Living in her gallant sons
Living on her history's page
Side hy side with Washington's '
When the storm of battle pours
And the invader's ruthless band
Fiercely on these western shores
Seeks to conquer freedom's land
Sternly grappling with the foe
In the battle's reddest flame
Where's the brave heart will not glow
When we breathe old Jackson's name!
In no tomb for monarchs made
With no pageantry of wo
Shall thy glorious dut be laid
In the earth when thou art low ;
Like thy life thou dauntless man
We will dig a grave for thee
.-Simple and republican
In the soil of Liberty !
With a stern and lofty pride
Patriots in all coming lime
From the lulls to the nqean'i side
Shall recount thy life sublime ;
Ceasing not to ihope that men
Willi great souls may rise to .guide
