Let me like a soldier fall.
[Dundee] : Poet's Box, 224 Overgate, Dundee,
[1880-1900?]
Dated from examination of text and style.
'This popular song can always be had at the Poet's Box, 224 Overgate, Dundee'.
First line reads: Oh let me like a soldier fall / Upon some open plain - / This breast expanding for a ball / To blot out every stain. / Brave manly hearts confer my doom, / That gentler ones may tell; / Howe'er unknown forgot my tomb, / He, like a soldier fell. / He, like a soldier fell.
