The+Concord+Hymn

I thought that this poem was very interesting. I noticed that this was sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument. I remember hearing from Br. Tom that Emerson was the man who actually came up with the phrase "the shot heard round the world" which is a commonly used term when talking about this battle. The way that this is written it seems like he is walking around the grounds that this was fought on and bring back memories of it. He is talking about memories that we have to remember those who fought in the war. Eventhough we only have a rock that states their name on it means a lot to those who knew the man or woman. And the reoccuring topic of nature makes another apperance. It is saying how we eventually will become apart of nature and it will spare us to a great and better place. 1202073488
