	Mount Hope Chapel By JOHN J. FRIEND, BANGOR, MAINE 1       I wandered to old Mount Hope's Gate And stood within the ground, And as I gazed along the path Where rose up many a mound, I thought of those we loved so well When life was young and bright, Whose bodies rest beneath the sod Now hidden from our sight. 2      Now General Varney, he lies here In life so just and true, And Franklin A. Wilson his beloved friend Whose name is known to you; And standing by that sacred spot That mark their narrow beds, The silent tears steal gently down Upon the honored dead. 3      Now Colonel Pullen is buried here In life was honored too, And Horace C. Chapman whose name brings back Sweet memories unto you; With Professor Ropes whose name was loved Have reached that far-off shore, His spirit's pierced that silent vale He's only gone before.
