Donop is remembered for having sent

The Americans gallantly replied that

Deck their dank cold beds with the tokenI

Bring how'r for each brave deed they wrought
And they'll sleep meath a sea Of bloom.
They are gone but their deeds are living still;

Time cannot take from these men that dared
Spend their lives for a cause they loved ana

They are ours-the brayest OF men.
Now. silent are bucle and battle cry.
The clanking sword is sheathed;
Silent and stark our comrades sleep.
Peace they have bought. let nation keep
The peace their dust hath bequeathed.

Let US homer their sleeping clay;
Let us keep their loved flag from smirch Of stain
