Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE F GH| Oh some shall stand in glory's light when all the strife is done | A |
| And many a mother there shall say 'For truth I gave my son ' | B |
| But I shall stand in silence then and hear the stories brave | C |
| For I must answer at the last that gold is all I gave | C |
| - | |
| When all this age shall pass away and silenced are the guns | D |
| When sweethearts join their loves again and mothers kiss their sons | D |
| When brave unto the brave return and all they did is told | E |
| How pitiful my gift shall seem when all I gave is gold | E |
| - | |
| When we are asked what did you then when all the world was red | F |
| And some shall say 'I fell in France ' and some 'I mourned my dead ' | - |
| With all the brave assembled there in glory long to live | G |
| How trivial our lives shall seem who had but gold to give | H |
