Inscription For Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg

________________________________________________
Title:     Inscription For Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg
Author: Herman Melville [More Titles by Melville]

To them who crossed the flood
And climbed the hill, with eyes
Upon the heavenly flag intent,
And through the deathful tumult went
Even unto death: to them this Stone--
Erect, where they were overthrown--
Of more than victory the monument.
