Marble finish
Ionic Roman columns
Steps to the memory
The setting capsule
Of freedom

The names of the union states
Unified as on country
Restored
Through the threads of blood
Flesh and bones of a generation
Of young men

Created by one spirit
A Whig; A Democrat

Tall with a black top hat
Lawyer and upholder of Justice
