Excerpt from The Aaron Burr Memorial: Prepared and Edited by the Grand Camp of the Aaron Burr in Commemoration of the 147th Anniversary of the Birthday of Colonel Aaron Burr Aye, come to the grave where they laid him to sleep, And left him in shame's mocking silence so long; The hard and the haughty may now pause to weep, To pity his errors and call back the wrong. The world's bitter scorn hath so heavily lain, And cast down its night on his desolate tomb, At least let the broad-visioned Present refrain, Nor scatter the ashes' that lie in the gloom. The spirit of vengeance hath followed the dead, And deepened the shadows that slander hath cast Ah, sweep back the mists that have shrouded his bed, That the starlight may fall on his bosom at last.
