|---|
| 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; | Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; |
| And Time the ruined bridge has swept | Down the dark stream which seaward creeps, |
| On this green bank, by this soft stream, | We set today a votive stone; |
| That memory may their deeds 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. |
