Excerpt from The Colonists and the Revolution

Sung at the Completion Of the Battle Monument, April 19, 1836.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the Shot heard round the world.

The foe long Since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror Silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set to-day_a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
