By a shaft of pure white marble,
In the quiet cemetery
Of his native hillside city.
Here the "Blue" and "Grey" are resting,
'Neath "the laurel" and "the lily,"
"Love and tears" the one, adorning,
"Tears and love" the other, mourning.
Captain Alexander Logan,
Lives to chronicle his story.
First Lieutenant T. A. Elkin,
On the staff of Colonel Landram,
Drilled a band of Zouave urchins,
In the lance munition tactics,
Ere he joined the army proper,
Ready for its earnest duties.
By promotion he was Captain
Of the Cavalry--the horsemen,
And survived a soldier's perils,
Made a creditable record.
Stephen Hedger,[5] First Lieutenant,
Was advanced from rank of Second.
Now the Sergeants, nine in number,
Are the chief among subalterns;
Joseph Vaughn, and John H. Bussing,
James D. Price, and A. M. Bishop,

And Hugh Burns, the last recorded.

On the fresh and modern record;

The great Mississippi Valley
Was their theatre of action.
At the city of New Orleans,
Eighteen hundred five and sixty,
Colonel Landram was commissioned,
Brigadier Commanding General.
When the armistice was sounded,
When the hero, Lee, surrendered,
And the companies disbanded,
At the trumpet proclamation,
Then the city on the hillside,
Summoned home her noble chieftains,
Once again to routine quiet.

Of command "Nineteenth Kentucky,"
Of the Cavalry--the horsemen.
