Title A name given to the resource Soldiers' Monument Dedication (1867) Description An account of the resource The order of exercises for the dedication of the Soldiers' Monument in 1867. Transcription: Order of Exercises at the Dedication of the Soldiers' Monument, Concord, Mass., April 19, 1867, Prayer, by Rev. G. Reynolds. Ode, by George B. Bartlett. Air, — Auld Lang Syne Beneath the shadows of the elm, where ninety years ago Old Concord's rustic heroes met to face a foreign foe, We come to consecrate this Stone to heroes of to-day, Who perished in a holy cause as gallantly as they. The patriot preacher's bugle-call, that April morning knew, Still lingers in the silver tones of him who speaks to you; As on their former muster-ground called by its notes again, Those ancient heroes seem to greet brave Prescott and his men. And as each soldier-saint appears to answer his name, Not one has dimmed the lustre of its old, unconquered fame; They, too, have left their peaceful homes for scenes of bloody strife, And death has turned to hallowed ground the fields they tilled in life. The Bronze and Stone we proudly rear must surely pass away, But deathless lives of fallen braves can never know decay; For, freed from stain of slavery, our re-united land— The soldiers' truest monument—shall ever firmly stand.
