T HERE let memorials deathless rise to tell - Each spot where martyrs to their prized land fell, Each mdnolith of praise - of martial meed, Standing 'mid light of monumental deed, Where heroes dared - their lives last proffer made, Their measure full in immolation paid. Not dead lie these dumb symbols of the strife, But mutely speaking that most crucial life, That struggle of a Nation's heart sustained When patriot nerves were tense and pulsing strained, When Union vital hung upon the field, And listened for the import it should yield - On Gettysburg, where centred foes were hurled With clash of impact echoing to the world! |
