What Salomon such words from you	A
Who call yourself a soldier Well	B
The Southern brother where he fell	B
Slept all your base oration through	A
	-
Alike to him he cannot know	C
Your praise or blame as little harm	D
Your tongue can do him as your arm	D
A quarter century ago	C
	-
The brave respect the brave The brave	E
Respect the dead but you you draw	F
That ancient blade the ass's jaw	F
And shake it o'er a hero's grave	E
	-
Are you not he who makes to day	G
A merchandise of old reknown	C
Which he persuades this easy town	C
He won in battle far away	G
	-
Nay those the fallen who revile	H
Have ne'er before the living stood	I
And stoutly made their battle good	I
And greeted danger with a smile	H
	-
What if the dead whom still you hate	J
Were wrong Are you so surely right	K
We know the issues of the fight	K
The sword is but an advocate	L
	-
Men live and die and other men	C
Arise with knowledges diverse	M
What seemed a blessing seems a curse	M
And Now is still at odds with Then	C
	-
The years go on the old comes back	N
To mock the new beneath the sun	C
Is nothing new ideas run	C
Recurrent in an endless track	N
	-
What most we censure men as wise	O
Have reverently practiced nor	P
Will future wisdom fail to war	P
On principles we dearly prize	O
	-
We do not know we can but deem	Q
And he is loyalest and best	R
Who takes the light full on his breast	R
And follows it throughout the dream	Q
	-
The broken light the shadows wide	S
Behold the battle field displayed	T
God save the vanquished from the blade	T
The victor from the victor's pride	S
	-
If Salomon the blessed dew	A
That falls upon the Blue and Gray	G
Is powerless to wash away	G
The sin of differing from you	A
	-
Remember how the flood of years	U
Has rolled across the erring slain	C
Remember too the cleansing rain	C
Of widows' and of orphans' tears	V
	-
The dead are dead let that atone	C
And though with equal hand we strew	A
The blooms on saint and sinner too	A
Yet God will know to choose his own	C
	-
The wretch whate'er his life and lot	W
Who does not love the harmless dead	X
With all his heart and all his head	X
May God forgive him I shall not	W
	-
When Salomon you come to quaff	E
The Darker Cup with meeker face	Y
I loving you at last shall trace	Y
Upon your tomb this epitaph	E
	-
'Draw near ye generous and brave	E
Kneel round this monument and weep	Z
For one who tried in vain to keep	Z
A flower from a soldier's grave '	-
