For sport and revelry and mlrth,
| From rise to set of sun;
Leave us-we plead by valor's worth
Leave lis this one!
| BY all the rights ye hold
Under the flag they fought to keep,
| That waves above their clay
BY all the blessings ye are left to reap.
Honor this day!
| Leave one day to our dead
Dead. but alive for evermore--
| Who heard the words well done.''
Life has so many days-our lips implore,
- Leave our dead one!
