THE GRAVE OF NAPOLEON. 

 Lorn is the roc!;, and boundless is the wave, 

 Where the weird sisters dug Napoleon's grave ; 

 A casiled steep — the sea fore^'er pours 

 A requiem round those solitary shores. 



No tender brother stood beside his bed. 

 No weeping cciisort held his drooping head, 

 A few sad followers, faithful lo the last, 

 Watch'd the quick changes that his face o'ercasl. 

 Saw the fi.\'d eye, with lingering lustre view, 

 His boy's bright portrait, as lie bade adieu ; 

 Sublime in death, he said, with hope inspir'd, 

 " My son, the head of armies !" and e.xpir'd. 



Near one small fount, in yonder glen of green, 

 Where cliffs stupendous guard the sacred scene. 

 And strangers tread with noiseless step the glade, 

 Lest the rude echo should thy rest invade — 

 Great shade of fame ! Where halh thy spirit fled, 

 In the dark regions of the unknown dead ? 

 Where is the arm which ruled, with wondrous pow er. 

 O'er Icings and kingdoms in a happier houi 1 

 Where is the form, which on yon Alpine height, 

 The Italian realms beheld with pale affright ? 

 Which seem'd lo travel over sjiace and time. 

 The gaze of crowds — the wonder of each clime ; 

 While Europe', liembling, saw with hopeless eye, 

 The wing'd artillery, like a whirlwind fly I 

 Where is he now ? Go, ask the watchman there. 

 Whose armour glistens in the mid-night aiiv 

 He points in silence, lo the lonely tomb. 

 Where Bertrand wept in agonizing gloom ! 



Oft will Iho pilgrim lo the East, pause here, 

 Muse on this spol, and shed a pitying tear; 

 That his vast genius, and his migiity mind 

 Should sink, by mercenary foes eoiilined. 

 Oft will the sons of ocean check the oar, 

 And drop their anchor near Ihis sainted shore ; 

 Through the dark winding valley slowly turn. 

 And, pensive, gaze at great Napoleon's urn. 

 Here, many a tongue vvill pay the tribute due, 

 To Bertrand's heart, so loyal and so Iruc ; 

 Who shar'd his glory, and who shar'd his grief. 

 A voluntary exile with his chief. 



Hero England's Genius yet may •weep the day 

 Th' illustrious captive felt her cruel swa}' ; 

 And lingering, died, with slow consuming pain, 

 Alas ! to England an eternal slain !
