Died at Hartford on Friday morning January th	A
	-
	-
And hath he fallen whom late we saw	B
In manly vigor bold	C
That stately form that noble face	D
Shall we no more behold	C
Not now of the renown we speak	E
That gathers round his name	F
For other climes beside our own	G
Bear witness to his fame	F
	-
Nor of the high inventive power	H
That stretched from zone to zone	G
And 'neath the pathless ocean wrought	I
For these to all are known	G
Nor of the love his liberal soul	J
His native City bore	K
For she hath monuments of this	L
Till memory is no more	K
	-
Nor of the self reliant force	M
By which his way he told	C
Nor of the Midas touch that turn'd	N
All enterprise to gold	C
And made the indignant River yield	O
Unto the ozier'd plain	P
For these would ask a wider range	Q
Than waits the lyric strain	P
	-
We choose those unobtrusive traits	R
That dawn'd with influence mild	S
When in his noble Mother's arms	T
We saw the noble child	S
And noted mid the changeful scenes	U
Of boyhood's sport or strife	V
That quiet firm and ruling mind	W
Which marked advancing life	V
	-
So onward as he held his course	M
Through hardship to renown	X
He kept fresh sympathy for those	Y
Who cope with fortune's frown	X
The kind regard for honest toil	Z
The joy to see it rise	A2
The fearless truth that never sought	I
His frailties to disguise	A2
	-
The lofty mind that all alone	G
Gigantic plans sustain'd	B2
Yet turned unboastfully away	C2
From fame and honors gained	B2
The tender love for her who blest	D2
His home with angel care	E2
And for the infant buds that rose	Y
In opening beauty fair	E2
	-
Deep in the heart whence flows this lay	C2
Is many a grateful trace	D
Of friendship's warm and earnest deed	F2
Which nought can e'er replace	D
For in the glory of his prime	G2
The pulse forsakes his breast	D2
And by his buried little ones	H2
He lays him down to rest	D2
	-
And thousand stand with drooping head	I2
Beside his open grave	J2
To whose industrious faithful hands	K2
The daily bread he gave	J2
The daily bread that wife and babe	L2
Or aged parent cheer'd	M2
Beneath the pleasant cottage roofs	N2
Which he for them had rear'd	M2
	-
There's mourning in the princely halls	O2
So late with gladness gay	C2
A tear within the heart of love	P2
That will not dry away	C2
A sense of loss on all around	Q2
A sigh of grief and pain	P
The like of him we lose to day	C2
We ne'er shall see again	R2
