Death where is thy victory	A
To triumph whilst I die	B
To triumph whilst thine ebon wing	C
Enfolds my shuddering soul	D
O Death where is thy sting	C
Not when the tides of murder roll	D
When nations groan that kings may bask in bliss	E
Death canst thou boast a victory such as this	E
When in his hour of pomp and power	F
His blow the mightiest murderer gave	G
Mid Nature s cries the sacrifice	H
Of millions to glut the grave	G
When sunk the Tyrant Desolation s slave	G
Or Freedom s life blood streamed upon thy shrine	I
Stern Tyrant couldst thou boast a victory such as mine	I
	-
To know in dissolution s void	J
That mortals baubles sunk decay	K
That everything but Love destroyed	J
Must perish with its kindred clay	K
Perish Ambition s crown	L
Perish her sceptred sway	K
From Death s pale front fades Pride s fastidious frown	L
In Death s damp vault the lurid fires decay	K
That Envy lights at heaven born Virtue s beam	M
That all the cares subside	N
Which lurk beneath the tide	N
Of life s unquiet stream	M
Yes this is victory	A
And on yon rock whose dark form glooms the sky	B
To stretch these pale limbs when the soul is fled	O
To baffle the lean passions of their prey	K
To sleep within the palace of the dead	O
Oh not the King around whose dazzling throne	P
His countless courtiers mock the words they say	K
Triumphs amid the bud of glory blown	P
As I in this cold bed and faint expiring groan	P
	-
Tremble ye proud whose grandeur mocks the woe	Q
Which props the column of unnatural state	R
You the plainings faint and low	Q
From Misery s tortured soul that flow	Q
Shall usher to your fate	R
	-
Tremble ye conquerors at whose fell command	S
The war fiend riots o er a peaceful land	S
You Desolation s gory throng	T
Shall bear from Victory along	T
To that mysterious strand	S
