Crest to crest they bore our banner,
Side by side they fell asleep ; Hand in hand we scatter flowers,
Heart to heart we kneel and weep.
Chorus.—They have gone from us forever, etc. |
||
When the May eternal dawneth
At the living God's behest, We will quaff divine Nepenthe,
We shall share the soldier's rest.
Chorus.—Where the weary feet are resting-, etc. |
||
Where the shadows are uplifted, 'Neath the never-waning sun,
Shout we Gloria in Excelsis! We have lost, but ye have won! |
||
Chorus.—Our hearts are yours forever,
Aye, for evermore ! Ye have won the crown immortal,
And the cross of death is o'er, When the oriflamme is burning
On the starlit Eden shore! |
