The aspiring youth that fired the Ephesian dome
Outlives in fame the pious fool that rais'd it.
The hand that rounded Peter's dome,
And groined the aisles of Christian Rome,
Wrought in a sad sincerity;
Himself from God he could not free;
He builded better than he knew:
The conscious stone to beauty grew.
Him of the western dome, whose weighty sense
Flows in fit words and heavenly eloquence.
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of eternity.
No gilded dome swells from the lowly roof to catch the morning or evening beam; but the love and gratitude of united America settle upon it in one eternal sunshine. From beneath that humble roof went forth the intrepid and unselfish warrior, the magistrate who knew no glory but his country's good; to that he returned, happiest when his work was done. There he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace. While it stands, the latest generations of the grateful children of America will make this pilgrimage to it as to a shrine; and when it shall fall, if fall it must, the memory and the name of Washington shall shed an eternal glory on the spot.
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of eternity.
The dome of thought, the palace of the soul.
