It feels a shame to be AliveB
When Men so brave are deadC
One envies the Distinguished DustD
Permitted such a HeadC

The Stone that tells defending WhomE
This Spartan put awayF
What little of Him we possessedG
In Pawn for LibertyH

The price is great Sublimely paidI
Do we deserve a ThingJ
That lives like Dollars must be piledK
Before we may obtainL

Are we that wait sufficient worthM
That such Enormous PearlN
As life dissolved be for UsO
In Battle's horrid BowlP

It may be a Renown to liveB
I think the Man who dieQ
Those unsustained SaviorsR
Present DivinityH
