the standard bearer's letter.
He has died, as warrior brave should fall,
With a dauntless breast to the foe;
For prince and country he gave his all,
In simple faith for weal or woe!
With a dauntless breast to the foe;
For prince and country he gave his all,
In simple faith for weal or woe!
Oh! lay him down in his nameless grave,
To sleep the warrior's tranquil rest;
May God who took, and Christ who gave,
The lone widow and orphan bless!
To sleep the warrior's tranquil rest;
May God who took, and Christ who gave,
The lone widow and orphan bless!
