"The
Gallant Pelham"
September 7 1838 - March 17 1863
"It
is glorious to see such courage in one so young."
- General Robert E. Lee
Still
is the heart that beat for his land,
Hushed is the voice, and cold is the hand;
Never to ride with the ringing brigade;
Never to lead with the glittering blade;
Never to charge with the Red Cross again --
"Weep, Light Artillery!" Pelham is slain.
