On the 18th, June 1812 / the United States of America / declared war against
Great Britian. / At the first Sound of Trumpet, the / Patriot Soldiers
who sleep beneath this / monument flew to the Standard of Liberty. / Here
they fell beneath the scythe of Death. / The sympathies of the Brave,
the tear of / the Stranger, and the Slow Dirges of the / Camp attended them
to the tomb.
How sleep the Brave, sink to rest
With all their Country's wishes blest!
The Laurel leaf of shining green
Will still around their Tomb be seen.
