Inconceivably solemn!

582

Inconceivably solemn!
Things go gay
Pierce—by the very Press
Of Imagery

Their far Parades—order on the eye
With a mute Pomp
A pleading Pageantry

Flags, are a brave sight
But no true Eye
Ever went by One
Steadily

Music's triumphant
But the fine Ear
Winces with delight
Are Drums too near
