Bold Galleher. loved of the brave who
fell
With Godwin's Fortieth Foot.
Again did the men of McNamee

TIL shouts of Tigaon's victory
Were echoed from Lulud.
Farewell to the hemp-groved Camarines
| And Albay's scenes to boot;
For mystery's Isle of the Philippines

The foe like a torrents rush came down
On slumbering Cagayan;
But sad was the morn for men of brown
And wise the foe who ran;
For Case has the men who slumber light
When sullen gugus shoot:
The cemeteries tell of the fateful fight
With Godwins Fortieth Foot.
The valorous browns who held the height
That towers DER Agusan,
Rocked not of the strength of men who

The right of the stars and the stripes

By might of the Fortieth Foot.
Jimeniz and far Langaron too
Have heard the bullets scream;
And Case has defeated the foe anew;
At Bubunauan's stream,
And gone where the boosted strongholds

! OF fierce and grim repute:
Twas he'll when the shell of the cannon

On foes of the Fortieth Foot.
Too many the deeds, too far, I trow
To follow with hating pen
From lone Dapitn to Surigao
