and their glory round her hair. She hovers near and bends above her world-wide honored child, And the joy that heaven alone can know beams on her features mild. And so they bear him to his grave in the fullness of his years, True sage and prophet, leaving us in a time of many fears. Nevermore amid the darkness of our wild and evil day Shall his voice be heard to cheer us, shall his finger point the way. Dr. Kane in Cuba. A noble life is in thy care, A sacred trust to thee is given; Bright Island! let thy healing air Be to him as the breath of Heaven. The marvel of his daring life— The self-forgetting leader bold— Stirs, like the trumpet's call to strife, A million hearts of meaner mould. Eyes that shall never meet his own Look dim with tears across the sea, Where from the dark and icy zone, Sweet Isle of Flowers! he comes to thee. Fold him in rest, O pitying clime! Give back his wasted strength again; Soothe, with thy endless summer time, His winter-wearied heart and brain.
