Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHIH JKLKBring the sad cypress wreath to grace the tomb | A |
Where rests the liberal friend of human kind | B |
Around its base let deathless flow'rets bloom | A |
Wet with the off'rings of the grateful mind | B |
- | |
Firm was thy friendship ardent and sincere | C |
Gen'rous thy soul to ev'ry suff'rer prov'd | D |
Rest sainted shade blest with the heart felt tear | E |
On earth lamented and in heaven belov'd | F |
- | |
Now will the widow weep that thou art gone | G |
Who oft her unprotected babes hast fed | H |
While tottering age shall heave the sigh forlorn | I |
As slow they move to beg their bitter bread | H |
- | |
Long shall the memory of thy worth survive | J |
Grav'd on the heart when sinks the trophied stone | K |
Oh may the plenty bless'd as freely give | L |
And from thy life of virtue form their own | K |
