“Flowers to their memory, / This fair spring day!”

“Without a sordid thought of fame / he to his Country gave his best.”

“We bring you the red and the white and the blue / To welcome Memorial-day”

“They who were fathers and brothers once / Are peacefully resting here.”

“In the land he loved next to his own he will always lie, content that he gave his all to a cause that was so near to his heart.”
