| Sleep martyrs of a fallen cause | B |
| Though yet no marble column craves | A |
| The pilgrim here to pause | C |
| - | |
| In seeds of laurel in the earth | D |
| The blossom of your fame is blown | E |
| And somewhere waiting for its birth | D |
| The shaft is in the stone | E |

| Meanwhile behalf the tardy years | F |
| Which keep in trust your storied tombs | G |
| Behold your sisters bring their tears | H |
| And these memorial blooms | G |
| - | |
| Small tributes but your shades will smile | I |
| More proudly on these wreaths to day | J |
| Than when some cannon moulded pile | I |
| Shall overlook this bay | J |
| - | |
| Stoop angels thither from the skies | K |
| There is no holier spot of ground | L |
| Than where defeated valor lies | K |
| By mourning beauty crowned | L |
