First Line: To them who crossed the flood
Last Line: Of more than victory the monument.
Subject(s): American Civil War; Fredericksburg, Battle Of (1862); U.s. - History
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.
