Excerpt from Orations and Addresses of George William Curtis, Vol. 3: Historical and Memorial Addresses Under this October sky, among these historic hills, with this historic river flowing at our feet; here, upon ground that Washington once trod, and which knew the darkest tragedy of the Revolution; beneath that flag, the bright morning star of hope to the nations - the flag that now floats unchallenged from this central post to the remotest frontier; surrounded by fields golden with immeasurable harvests, by homes of happiness and peace, by hearts of fidelity to country and to man, we come to honor the memory of the brave and modest soldier who died to give to our homes that peace, to confirm in our hearts that fidelity, to keep those fields prosperous and secure - your father, men of the Sixth Corps - our soldier, fellow-citizens - the silent, affection ate, heroic leader, whom the eye desiring sees not, whom the ear attentive hears not; Whose part, in all the pomp that fills The Circuit of the summer hills Is, that his grave is green.
