'Soldler, rest thy warfare DER;
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking;
Dream Of battle fields no more
Days of dan ger. nights of waking,
In our isles enchanted hall,
Hands unseen thy couch are strewing.
Fairy strains of music fall,
Every sense in slumber dewing.
Soldier, rest; thy warfare DER,
Dream Of fighting fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking
Morn of toll nor night of waking.
