Inscription. (Front):ANGEL ALOFTSpirit of eternal light,
Keep silent vigil o'er the brave;
The untarnished blue,
The unsullied gray,
In peace and love unite.

Proud heroes have fallen,
And over their grave,
Our hearts are united,
Our country to save.

Over the dead the living bend,
And up to their God their voices send;
That in Liberty's crown or Eternity's day,
He may place as fair Jewels
The Blue and the Gray.
