Inscription
Co. B, 12th Regiment, NH Volunteers
Weep not for me, for I am blest
I've passed to a happier life
My mortal form is only dead
My soul to endless life has fled
On my Country let me slumber
On her altar let me die
I am not afraid dear parents
In so good a cause to die
Dear George we mourn thy fate
Thy life was nobly given
Far from thy home and friends
Thou gavest up earth for Heaven
Our country mourns for heroes brave
Who have died to make her free
And oft beside their honored grave
We all shall pilgrims be
We'll weep for those who have died
For Union and Liberty
