Confederate
dead
who fell on
this field
Mar., 6,7, & 8
1862.The graves of our dead with the grass evergreen
May yet form the footstool of Liberty's throne;
And each single rock in the war-path of Alight.
Small yet be a rock in the Temple of Right.
(Right):General
James
McIntosh
of ArkansasOh give me the land with a grave in each spot.
And names in the graves that shall not be forgot;
Give me the land of the wreck and the lamb,
There's a grandeur in graves - There's a glory in gloom
(Back):General
Ben
McCulloch
of TexasO give me a land where the ruins are spread
And the living tread light on the hearts of the dead.
Or give me a land that is best by the dust.
and bright with the deeds of down-trodden just.

W.Y.
