| April th | B |

| By the rude bridge that arched the flood | C |
| Their flag to April's breeze unfurled | D |
| Here once the embattled farmers stood | E |
| And fired the shot heard round the world | D |

| The foe long since in silence slept | F |
| Alike the conqueror silent sleeps | G |

| To die and leave their children free | L |
| Bid Time and Nature gently spare | K |
| The shaft we raise to them and thee | L |
