INSCRIPTION
FOR MARYE'S HEIGHTS, FREDERICKSBURG
To them who crossed the floodAnd climbed the hill, with eyes
Upon the heavenly flag intent,
And through the deathful tumult went
Even unto death: to them this Stone—
Erect, where they were overthrown—
Of more than victory the monument.
| Collected poems of Herman Melville | |
