MOUNT AUBURN.

Nor scorn we to appropriate a place
To yonder emblem of the canine race;
But honored still for ages yet to come,
The faithful dog here guards his master's tomb!
In sculptured stone immortalized is he,—
A noble tribute to fidelity!
Beside the friends in life he loved to guard,
In death he gains this justly earned reward.

Bright resting-place of faithful hearts and true,
Auburn! New England's pride and boast, adieu!
