Our Dead.

Do we weep for the heroes who died for us!
Who, living were true, and tried for us,
And in death sleep side by side for us?
The martyr band
That hallowed our land,
With the blood they poured in tide for us i?
All fearless on many day for US,
They stood in front of the fray for US,
And held the foeman at hay for U.S.
Fresh tears should fall
Fofever-oer all
Who fell while wearing the gray for u.s.
How many glorious name for us
How many story of fame for us
They left Would it not be shame for u.s.?
If their memory part
From our land and heart
And wrong and a blame for u.s.
No-no-no-.hey were brave for us,
And bright were the lives they gave for us
The land they struggled to save for us
Cannot forget
Its warriors yet,
Who sleep in so many grave for us.
No-no-no-they were slain for us,
And their blood flowed out in a rain for us,
Red, rich and pure on the plain for us;
And years may go,
But our tears may flow
Der the dead who have died in vain for u.s.
And their deeds-proud leeds-shall remain for U.s.
And their names-dear names-without stain for u.s.
And the gories they won shall not wane for us.
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray,
Though dead, shall live over again for us.
