We loved each other then, Lorena,
More than we ever dared to tell;
And what we might have been, Lorena,
Had but our lovings prospered well --
But then, 'tis past, the years are gone,
I'll not call up their shadowy forms;
I'll say to them, "Lost years,
sleep on! Sleep on! "
I love you.

White marble grids mark the Soldiers that died at the Battle of Seven Pines (Fair Oaks) on May 31, 1862, and at the subsequent campaign for the Confederate capitol (Richmond) known as the Seven Days Battles (June 25 - July 1, 1862).

Confederate sick and wounded boys from the 40-acre Chimborazo Hospital are sleeping here.
