The finest tribute
we can pay Unto our hero
dead to-day, Is not a rose
wreath, white and red, In memory of
the blood they shed; It is to stand
beside each mound, Each couch of
consecrated ground, And pledge ourselves
as warriors true Unto the work
they died to do. [Complete
poem here.].

who has no natural regard for his ancestors, or his kindred,
is
