And freedoms fearless battle-shouts,
And triumph-lays ring round tho

For those whose dead brows glory

On crimson couchcs sleeping;
And for homo faces wan with grief,
And fond dim eyes with weeping,
And for the soldier, poor, unknown,
Who battled, madly brave,
Beneath i stranger soil to share

And for all that brave, heroic band
That fought and blcd in "No mans
