When the deadly strife is done
The sister greets the brother,
And the mother claims her son;
The child shall find its father,

The wife shall have the answer

Tho the joy of life is fed;
And stars be brightly shining

There will be vigs keeping
When the conflict shall be DER,
And stricken ones be weeping
For the friend that comes no more;

And our hope in future years,
