Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die,
and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
The Concord Hymm, Sung at the dedication of the Concord Battle Monument, July 4, 1839. Written by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
You bet, Poconopundit! Nice hearing from you...:)
My state is lost, but I keep the candle lit for The United States of America!
