Oliver Goldsmith - Stanzas on the Taking of Quebec and the Death of General Wolfe

Oliver Goldsmith - Stanzas on the Taking of Quebec and the Death of General Wolfe

AMIDST the clamour of exulting joys, br Which triumph forces from the patriot heart, br Grief dares to mingle her soul-piercing voice, br And quells the raptures which from pleasures start. br br O WOLFE! to thee a streaming flood of woe, br Sighing we pay, and think e'en conquest dear; br QUEBEC in vain shall teach our breast to glow, br Whilst thy sad fate extorts the heart-wrung tear.
