IN MEMORIAM.
Too soon the sad tidings were borne to our shore That a great soul had fled— a good man was . no more ; That one who, 'mid mortals, had ranked with the best— His great mission finished — had gone to his rest. Tho' the spirit will live in the works it has penned, Right mourns a lost champion, the poor a lost friend ; " And where'er o'er earth's surface the sad news has sped, The nations will grieve for the one that is dead-; While in lands far apart shall be gathered the bloom, To make many wreathsto deck "Copperfield's" tomb. . , . - And high above warriors and princes shalfame, In a well-deserved place, write The Novelist's Name. Ahaura River, July 30. H. M. M.
