I died for Beauty--but was scarce. (feb 18, 1862 – apr 30, 1862)
Description:
" I died for Beauty - but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In and adjoining Room -
Until the Moss had reached out lips -
And covered up - our names"
References the complex, and differentiating reasons why people fought and died in the war, also references how many of these soldiers will be forgotten after the battles are done.
