Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCDEF GHIHEDE IJEKEDE LMLMNDO GPLPEDB QRERSDT| There is a cap in the closet | A |
| Old tattered and blue | B |
| Of very slight value | B |
| It may be to you | B |
| But a crown jewel studded | C |
| Could not buy it to day | D |
| With its letters of honor | E |
| Brave 'Co K ' | F |
| - | |
| The head that it sheltered | G |
| Needs shelter no more | H |
| Dead heroes make holy | I |
| The trifles they wore | H |
| So like chaplet of honor | E |
| Of laurel and bay | D |
| Seems the cap of the soldier | E |
| Marked 'Co K ' | - |
| - | |
| Bright eyes have looked calmly | I |
| Its visor beneath | J |
| O'er the work of the Reaper | E |
| Grim Harvester Death | K |
| Let the muster roll meagre | E |
| So mournfully say | D |
| How foremost in danger | E |
| Went 'Co K ' | - |
| - | |
| Whose footsteps unbroken | L |
| Came up to the town | M |
| Where rampart and bastion | L |
| Looked threat'ningly down | M |
| Who closing up breaches | N |
| Still kept on their way | D |
| Till guns downward pointed | O |
| Faced 'Co K ' | - |
| - | |
| Who faltered or shivered | G |
| Who shunned battle stroke | P |
| Whose fire was uncertain | L |
| Whose battle line broke | P |
| Go ask it of History | E |
| Years from to day | D |
| And the record shall tell you | B |
| Not 'Co K ' | - |
| - | |
| Though my darling is sleeping | Q |
| To day with the dead | R |
| And daisies and clover | E |
| Bloom over his head | R |
| I smile through my tears | S |
| As I lay it away | D |
| That battle worn cap | T |
| Lettered 'Co K ' | - |
