"And they who for their Country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's
tomb and beauty weeps the brave"
                     -----Joseph Drake-----

"They are dead; but they live in each patriot's breast, and their names are engraven on
Honor's  Bright Crest."
                     -----Henry Wadsworth Longfellow-----


Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silent by night and by day,
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forcast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give  them the laurels they lost with their life.
                  -----William Carleton-----
