Rhyme Scheme: AB CDED FGFG HIHJ KLKL| Sung at the Completion of the Concord Monument | A |
| 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 |
| And Time the ruined bridge has swept | F |
| Down the dark stream that seaward creeps | G |

| We set today a votive stone | I |
| That memory may their deed redeem | H |
| When like our sires our sons are gone | J |

| Spirit that made those heroes dare | K |
| To die and leave their children free | L |
| Bid Time and Nature gently spare | K |
| The shaft we raise to them and thee | L |
