"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,

Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,

Here once the embattled farmers stood,

And fired the shot heard round the world..”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
( written for the 1837 dedication of the Obelisk,
a monument in Concord, Massachusetts commemorating the Battle of Concord,
the second in a series of battles and skirmishes on April 19, 1775
at the outbreak of the American Revolution.)
