Passage
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.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Concord Hymn"

What is the speaker telling the grecian urn in these lines from “ode on a grecian urn”? he wishes the urn could talk so he could hear its stories. he knows the urn will still be around for others to see after he is dead. he fears that when he gets old, the urn will suffer because nobody else will take care of it. he wishes the people frozen on the urn could warm up and come to life.
