Published by H. De Marson at 54 Chatham Street in New York. Hand-colored song sheet with draped American flags flowing down the sides. At the bottom left corner is an image of a Zouave and at the bottom right corner is the image of a slave dressed in a loincloth. Also has an image of the American eagle above an image of Ellsworth's grave, with items associated with his life. The song is four stanzas long. First stanza says: "Fall'n when his course had just begun - / Columbia mourns her hero son, / And with her tears bedews the grave / Of Ellsworth - leader of the brave!" For a similar image of the drapped flags see GLC03617.08, which is not hand-colored (the song is different at .08).
