‘ By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard ’round the world
The foe long since in silence slept;
And the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On the green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone; '
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are, gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare_
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
