One starry teardrop hangs and trembles.
Though heaven alone records the tear
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As e'er believed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep or wonder
And bravely speaks the cheering WORD,
What though her heart he rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er

The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses.
Then breathes a few brave words and

To know the pain that weighs upon her.
