Now we yield to them another,
To defend his country's fame;

When we count the dear ones DER;
All our hopes have fed forever
OF thy come home once more
Oh, the wicked, wicked traitors;

Everywhere our eyes may wander
Some vacant spot will CLEAN
Imagination brings him hither'

In this fierce and bloody strife,
Mid lannon's roar and musket's rattle,
Yielded he his precious NE
Oh, they killed him in the battle,

Oh, can it be that brother s dead a:
Shall We never, never see him smile?
Oh, is that what the papers said,-
After waiting all this whle'
Waiting, waitingi-nOw he's dead!

To his last and fond good goodbye,
Low he bent and to me whispered

For the name his fathers bore
