CHIEFTAIN gone! Your vital deeds
remain, Though stilled be vibrant pulse and war-stirred brain, Hushed be the heart- the living spirit flown - Our Union cleaves to your bond as her own - Claims with a deathless grasp your life-wrought chain Though past and crowned he***** internecine pain, Its lingering impulse still her sons retain - Into our lives has yours, great leader grown, O Chieftain gone! Ever our memories glow your fire maintain, Enkindling patriot potency again - Never shall men, while name of Grant be known, Despair of martial voice, of hero tone - Invoke, 0 vanished chief, your spell in vain, O Chieftain gone! |
