H my brother!Thou, of old so merry-hearted,
Wont our saddest hours to cheer—
Thine abundant life departed—
Thou must slumber here.
Ah my brother,
From the grave where first they bore thee,
When thy youthful lips were dumb,
With the bugles grieving o'er thee
And the burial drum;—
From the grave where first they bore thee,
When thy youthful lips were dumb,
With the bugles grieving o'er thee
And the burial drum;—
Ah my brother,
Thence at last with sobs we bring thee,
All thy soldier-work is done:
Here the long farewell we sing thee—
Thou hast fought—and won!
Thence at last with sobs we bring thee,
All thy soldier-work is done:
Here the long farewell we sing thee—
Thou hast fought—and won!
Ah my brother!
At thy games, the loud reveillè
At thy games, the loud reveillè
