Ode
by Henry Timrod
Sleep sweetly in your humble
graves,
Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause;
Though yet no marble column
craves
The pilgrim here to pause.
In seeds of laurel in the
earth
The blossom of your fame is
blown,
And somewhere, waiting for its
birth,
The shaft is in the stone!
Meanwhile, behalf the tardy
years
Which keep in trust your storied
tombs,
Behold, your sisters bring their
tears,
And these memorial blooms.
Small tributes! but your shades
will smile
More proudly on these wreaths
to-day,
Than when some cannon-moulded
pile
Shall overlook this bay.
Stoop, angels, hither from the
skies,
There is no holier spot of
ground
Than where defeated valor
lies,
By mourning beauty crowned.
