Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDDEEAEFGGF HIEIEJJDHHKKLMML| The death of men is not the death | A |
| Of rights that urged them to the fray | B |
| For men may yield | C |
| On battle field | C |
| A noble life with stainless shield | C |
| And swords may rust | D |
| Above their dust | D |
| But still and still | E |
| The touch and thrill | E |
| Of freedom's vivifying breath | A |
| Will nerve a heart and rouse a will | E |
| In some hour in the days to be | F |
| To win back triumphs from defeat | G |
| And those who blame us then will greet | G |
| Right's glorious eternity | F |
| - | |
| For right lives in a thousand things | H |
| Its cradle is its martyr's grave | I |
| Wherein it rests awhile until | E |
| The life that heroisms gave | I |
| Will rise again at God's own will | E |
| And right the wrong | J |
| Which long and long | J |
| Did reign above the true and just | D |
| And thro' the songs the poet sings | H |
| Right's vivifying spirit rings | H |
| Each simple rhyme | K |
| Keeps step and time | K |
| With those who marched away and fell | L |
| And all his lines | M |
| Are humble shrines | M |
| Where love of right will love to dwell | L |
