Dear Rose It's my present inte ntion
or my health for moment to ning;
The army of France is triumphant,
And have an arm in sling
Besides the decided advantage
We gained in that brilliant attack,
We've taken plenty of punder,
And I-have TWO shots in the back
I'm now in the hospital-where
l soon shall have ended my pains
! send you ten lrancs-tis the money
That purchased my mortal remains;
IT'S fitting that Rose should receive it
Whose lover has vanished from earth /;
1t will lessen my grief at departing,
To know she has all | am worth
When from my old mother parted,
She seemed ia rapid decay
hope ere my letters arrival
She may have passed wholly away;
For If the poor woman is living,
Her love for her son is so great,
know she would die of sudden
To hear of his tragical fate
My dog-pray do not neglect him,
And do not permit him to learn
His master has gone on journey
From which he will never return
. could be but see me corporal
How madly he'd chper and dance
And how the poor fellow would sorrow
10 hear of my fatal mischance
Ah, well lit is very distressing
So far from ones country to die T!
He who passed away from his village,
May at least bid his Gro nies Good bye |!
Have place in the rear Of the chapel,
And cross at the head of the knoll,
And may hope that some plying nader
May say few prayers for his soul
Adisu my dear Rose-it were idle
At my final departure to grieve
I'm joining a regiment, dearest,
That never grants tickets Of leave
Lo everything round me is turning
All me it will shortly be over
I've taken my travelling orders
Farewell land remember your lover
