| Term | Definition |
| 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. |
