16 CAMBRIDGE REVOLUTIONARY MEMORIAL.
The Rev. ALEXANDER MICKENZIE then delivered the address
which is appended in full. When he had concluded, the
ceremonies were closed by singing the following lines, composed for the occasion by Miss SARAH S. JACOBS:
Now pride and song, and joy and praise,
Above these graves of other days!Oh, First of our Immortal Dead!
Whose sons but follow where you led,
We come to honor, not to weep;
Break not, to-day, your solemn sleep.
Not with war's pomp and mailed breast
They fought, beneath this sod who rest;
Like David, with his sling and stone,
Their trust was in the Lord alone.
Their nameless grave has waited long:
Its record now make firm and strong.
Swift glide the years with restless haste:
The crumbling granites bend and waste;
Yet memory shall, nor changed nor cold,
This spot in grateful reverence hold;
And proudly show, on either hand,
Who died to save our native land.
