-
My Portion is Defeat todayB
A paler luck than VictoryC
Less Paeans fewer BellsD
The Drums don't follow Me with tunesE
Defeat a somewhat slower meansF
More Arduous than BallsG
-
'Tis populous with Bone and stainH
And Men too straight to stoop againI
And Piles of solid MoanJ
And Chips of Blank in Boyish EyesK
And scraps of PrayerL
And Death's surpriseK
Stamped visible in StoneJ
-
There's somewhat prouder over thereL
The Trumpets tell it to the AirL
How different VictoryC
To Him who has it and the OneM
Who to have had it would have beenN
Contender to dieO
