Rhyme Scheme: A BCCDDCCD EDDEDD| i In Doric Hall Massachussetts State House i | A |
| - | |
| Dear witnesses all luminous eloquent | B |
| Stacked thickly on the tessellated floor | C |
| The soldier blood stirs in me as of yore | C |
| In sire and grandsire who to battle went | D |
| I seem to know the shaded valley tent | D |
| The armed and bearded men the thrill of war | C |
| Horses that prance to hear the cannon roar | C |
| Shrill bugle calls and camp fire merriment | D |
| - | |
| And as fair symbols of heroic things | E |
| Not void of tears mine eyes must e'en behold | D |
| These banners lovelier as the deeper marred | D |
| A panegyric never writ for kings | E |
| On every tarnished staff and tattered fold | D |
| And by them tranquil spirits standing guard | D |
