[West face]:
In this monument
Generations unborn shall hear the voice
Of a grateful people
Testifying to the sublime devotion
Of the women of South Carolina
In their country's need.
Their unconquerable spirit
Strengthened the thin lines of gray.
Their tender care was solace to the stricken.
Reverence for God
and unfaltering faith in a righteous cause
Inspired heroism that survived
The immolation of sons
and courage that bore the agony of suspense
and the shock of disaster.
The tragedy of the Confederacy may be forgotten
But the fruits of the noble service
Of the Daughters of the South
Are our perpetual heritage.
[South Face]:
At clouded dawn of peace
they faced the future
undismayed by problems
and fearless of trials
in loving effort to heal
their country's wounds
and with conviction
that from the ashes of ruin
would come resurrection
and truth
with glorious vindication
Inscription by William E. Gonzales.

(East face)
When reverses followed victories
When want displaced plenty
When mourning for the flower of southern manhood
darkened countless homes
When government tottered and chaos threatened
the women were steadfast and unafraid.
They were
Unchanged in their devotion
Unshaken in their patriotism
Unwearied in ministrations
Uncomplaining in sacrifices.
Splendid in fortitude
they, strong while they wept,
in the rebuilding after the desolation
their virtues stood
as the supreme citadel
with strong towers of faith and hope
around which civilization rallied
and triumphed.
