Know ye not when our dead	A
From sleep to battle sprung	B
When the Persian charger's tread	A
On their cowering greensward rung	B
When the trampling march of foes	C
Had crush'd our vines and flowers	D
When jewell'd crests arose	C
Through the holy laurel bowers	D
	-
When banners caught the breeze	E
When helms in sunlight shone	F
When masts were on the seas	E
And spears on Marathon	G
	-
There was one a leader crown'd	H
And arm'd for Greece that day	I
But the falchions made no sound	H
On his gleaming war array	I
In the battle's front he stood	J
With his tall and shadowy crest	K
But the arrows drew no blood	L
Though their path was through his breast	K
	-
When banners caught the breeze	E
When helms in sunlight shone	F
When masts were on the seas	E
And spears on Marathon	G
	-
His sword was seen to flash	M
Where the boldest deeds were done	N
But it smote without a clash	M
The stroke was heard by none	N
His voice was not of those	C
That swell'd the rolling blast	O
And his steps fell hush'd like snows	C
'Twas the Shade of Theseus pass'd	O
	-
When banners caught the breeze	E
When helms in sunlight shone	F
When masts were on the seas	E
And spears on Marathon	G
	-
Far sweeping through the foe	P
With a fiery charge he bore	Q
And the Mede left many a bow	R
On the sounding ocean shore	Q
And the foaming waves grew red	A
And the sails were crowded fast	O
When the sons of Asia fled	A
As the Shade of Theseus pass'd	O
	-
When banners caught the breeze	E
When helms in sunlight shone	F
When masts were on the seas	E
And spears on Marathon	G
