WHO FELL ON
THIS FIELD,

May yet form the footstool of Liberty's throne;
And each single wreck in the war-path of Might,
Shall yet be a rock in the Temple of Right.

And names in the graves that shall not be forgot;
Yes give me the land of the wreck and the tomb,
There's a grandeur in graves-there's a glory in gloom.

And bright with the deeds of down-trodden just.
