Rang o'er thy waves, and on yon green hill's brow, Glittered the serried steel. And still thy name shall be A watchword for the brave of Freedom's clime, Bayard Taylor. Brooklyn, N. Y. GREENWOOD CEMETERY. OW soft and pure the sunlight falls HOW - On this lone city of the dead, - But, as the summer's greenness fades, Look, Mary, what a splendid scene Happy-although this sacred spot Oh! mournful fate! to die unknown With no sweet hand like thine to close- - Park Benjamin. GREENWOOD. SIDE by side rise the two great cities, Afar on the traveller's sight; One, black with the dust of labor, One, solemnly still and white. Apart, and yet together, They are reached in a dying breath, But a river flows between them, And the river's name is Death. Apart, and yet together, Together, and yet apart, As the child may die at midnight So close come the two great cities, And the grass in the one is trampled, Anon, from the hut and the palace So welcome to all to give, In the land where the living are dying, As the land where the dead may live. O silent City of Refuge On the way to the City o'erhead! The gleam of thy marble milestones Tells the distance we are from the dead. Full of feet, but a city untrodden, They know not the tomb from the palace, From the doors that death shut coldly S. Miller Hagerman. GOING TO GREENWOOD. [ARY and I were going together M Down to Greenwood's City of Rest; Going down, in the summer weather, Where slept the friends we had loved the best. I had a sister, loved and cherished, Green, we knew, was the grass above them, Bright the flowers, like Heaven's tears, Scattered by hands we had taught to love them, Every sunny day for years. Mary and I were going together, Some bright day, as dear friends come With the cheerful smile of sunny weather,To visit our dead in their quiet home. We would sit fair flowers wreathing Hearing the birds sing, as if breathing Mary and I, through all the seasons, Autumn is here with its voice of wailing, The City of Rest has a fair new-comer; Henry Morford. GREENWOOD CEMETERY. ERE are the houses of the dead. Here youth HER And age and manhood, stricken in his strength, Hold solemn state and awful silence keep, While Earth goes murmuring in her ancient path, |
