    • 1867 June, “The Confederate Dead”, in The Land We Love, volume 3, page 135:
      The Spring with vineleafed arms shall twine,
      Each hillocked resting-place
      And Summer's roses low incline
      With flushed and dewy face;
      Fair daisies, rayed like stars, shall rise
      From their enhallowed dust,
      And look up to protecting skies,
      With smiles of sunny trust.

      The sweetest lyres in all the tuneful earth
      To music wake at their enhallowed birth.

      More precious than all most-enhallowed things:
