[Dedicated to the New York Fire Zouaves.] Columbia bends in sadness now, Above her gallant soldier's grave; Laurel and cypress deck the brow Of the dead Zouave-so young, so brave. Cut down in manhood's brightest bloom-- Of his dear friends the hope and pride-- He sleeps within an honored tomb, Who for his country bravely died.
