| The wild green woods among | B |
| And nurse resolves and fancies | C |
| Because the world was young | B |
| It was not foes to conquer | D |
| Nor sweethearts to be kind | E |
| But it was friends to die for | F |
| That I would seek and find | E |

| I sought them far and found them | G |
| The sure the straight the brave | H |
| The hearts I lost my own to | I |
| The souls I could not save | H |
| They braced their belts about them | G |
| They crossed in ships the sea | J |
| They sought and found six feet of ground | K |
| And there they died for me | J |
