DlSuOnOT y DuSe SUI,
Though in the way they must so,
Flowed their own hearts b.ood
OF tho battle and crash.
OF the musketrys clash,
Of the cannob's fierce roar,
OF the means ard the gore,
OF the Kissing OF shell,
OF the shrek and the yell,
OF the tumult and clash,
or sabre and sword,
OF the tramp.ing OF hoof
On the image of God!
OF the hatred of foes.
That to the tomb even goes,
ANA Rebel inscribes.
Ger the dust of our heroes.
OF the fading of truth,
AS the sunset ut night,
or the spreading of wrong,
Like the wings Of the night.
