Bowed down by grief,
Columbia mourns her slauu-htcrcd chief.
Fallen is the li-reat ;
Falleri is the good ;
Fidlen the chief pillar of the State.
That assassin's hand hath shed the blood
Of him whose nuindate freedom gave,
To the down trodden helpless slave ;
To millions luTin; in bondasi'e vile,
Who knew but suffering, woe and toil.
Who dared not cry, for mercy urge,
When bloodhounds bayed along their tracks.
Who dared not murmur when the scourge
Of tyrant masters lashed their backs ;
Who passed their lives in misery,
To pander to luxurious lust ;
Who oft endured the aijonv
Of seeing offspring from them thrust
By cruel hands, for sake of gain.
Beseeching then was all in vain,
And curses met the mother's cry ;
