History of the First Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, 1861-1864 [electronic resource]: with maps and illustrations . when the sun hung low in heaven,But ah ! when the stars rode over they numbered but on the field or wounded the rest of the Old First lay;Xever a man of them faltered or flinched in the fire of the fray,For they bore the banner of Freedom on the Gettysburg hills that our fallen comrades—cover their graves with flowers,For they fought and fell like Spartans for this glorious land of ours:They fell, but they fell victorious, for the Rebel ranks were riven, d over our land united—one nation from sea to sea—Over the grave of Treason, over millions of men made the flag of our fathers waves in the winds of heaven—Red with the blood of her heroes she waves in the winds ot heaven. Honor our fallen comrades—cover their graves with flowers,For they fought and fell like Spartans for this glorious land of ours;And oft shall our children s children garland their graves and say—They bore the banner of Freedom on the Gettysburg hills that day.
