Behind this stoue is laid,
General in the army OF the Confederate States
Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee,
On the SIKH day Of April \. D.;
Eighteen hundred and siXty-two;
man tried in many high Offices.
And critical enterprises,
And found faithful in all.
Ills life was one long sacrifice of interest 10
conscience:
And cvel that life on n woh! Sabbath
Did he yield us a holocaust at his country need
Not wholly understood WAS he viii. he lived;
But, in his death, his greatness stands confess d
In peoples tears.
R,solute moderate, clear ofcayy, yet no wanting
In that finer ambition which n,k,s meu great and
pure
In his hohor impregnahlc:
-. In his simpiicity--sublme
No country e'er had ii truer son-no cause no
bier champion.
No people a bolder defender-no principle purcr
victim.
Than the soldier
Who sleeps here ..-
The cause for which he perishcd is lost
The people for whom he fought are crushed
The hcpes in which he trusted, are shattered
The flag he loves guides no more the charging
lines;
But his fame consigned, to the keeping of that
time which
Happily is not so much the tomb ofVirtue as its
shrine,
Shall, in the years to come, fire modest worth to
noble ends.
In honor, now, our great captain rests
bcreaved people mourn him;
Three commonwcallhs proudly claim him;
And history shall cherish him.
Among these choicest spirits, who holding their
conscience unmxed with blame
Have Leen in all conjuncureS, true to themselves,
their country, and their God.
