“Go, forget me! why should sorrow
O’er that brow a shadow fling?
Go, forget me, and to-morrow
Brightly smile and sweetly sing!
Smile,—though I shall not be near thee;
Sing,—though I shall never hear thee!”

From the field of his fame fresh and gory;
We carved not a line, and we raised not a stone,
But we left him alone with his glory.”
