THE DEAD EMPEROR.
To-day, with bending head and eyes, thou, too, Columbia, |
Less for the mighty crown laid low in sorrow—less for the
Emperor,
|
Thy true condolence breathest, sendest out o'er many a salt sea
mile,
|
Mourning a good old man—a faithful shepherd, patriot. |
Publish'd March 10, 1888.
