Edgar Lee Masters - Kinsey Keene
Work rating: Low

Your attention, Thomas Rhodes, president of the bank; 
Coolbaugh Wedon, editor of the Argus; 
Rev. Peet, pastor of the leading church; 
A.D. Blood, several times Mayor of Spoon River; 
And finally all of you, members of the Social Purity Club— 
Your attention to Cambronne`s dying words, 
Standing with heroic remnant 
Of Napoleon`s guard on Mount Saint Jean 
At the battle field of Waterloo, 
When Maitland, the Englishman, called to them: 
"Surrender, brave Frenchmen!"— 
There at close of day with the battle hopelessly lost, 
And hordes of men no longer the army 
Of the great Napoleon 
Streamed from the field like ragged strips 
Of thunder clouds in the storm. 
Well, that Cambronne said to Maitland 
Ere the English fire made smooth the brow of the hill 
Against the sinking light of day 
Say I to you, and all of you, 
And to you, O world. 
And I charge you to carve it 
Upon my stone.
