The Mound Builders

Chapter 2

Your light gone out!!--"tis night again.

And is this all? an earthen pot!

A broken spear! a copper pin!

Earth"s grandest prizes counted in, A burial mound!--the common lot!

Yes! this were all; but o"er the mound, The stars, that fill the midnight sky, Are eyes from Heaven that watch on high Till domesday"s thrilling life-note sound.
