LyicsIf human kindness meets return,
And owns the grateful tie-
If tender thoughts within us burn
To feel a friend is nigh-
Oh shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe
To him who died our fears to quell,
And save from endless woe!
While yet his anguished soul surveyed
Those pangs he would not flee,
What love his latest words displayed-
"Meet and remember me"!
Remember thee! thy death, thy shame,
The griefs which thou didst bear;
O memory, leave no other name
But his recorded there!
