WORD, BY " C. uo.zgE-zuHc ~ a. sriSSt'G
Toll the bell the brave are sleeping
And their swords are sheathel fJfeEsr,
With aud our weeping
We can wake them never
Beat the muiilsd drum, yo inonrners
For their proud career Is DER,
From the battle field returners,
10 their homes no more.
Toll the bell the field of honor
Saw our beet and brayest perish
Let u.s. tho cloud II on her.
Our beloved country cherish
Let tho native land they wrought for
Rear the stainless marble high
To the glorious realm they fought for
