On the death of Captain Hiram A Coats	A
my old schoolmate and friend	B
	-
	-
Dead or is it a dream	C
Only the voice of a dream	C
Dead in the prime of his years	D
And laid in the lap of the dust	E
Only a handful of ashes	F
Moldering down into dust	E
	-
Strong and manly was he	G
Strong and tender and true	H
Proud in the prime of his years	D
Strong in the strength of the just	E
A heart that was half a lion's	I
And half the heart of a girl	J
Tender to all that was tender	K
And true to all that was true	H
Bold in the battle of life	L
And bold on the bloody field	M
First at the call of his country	G
First in the front of the foe	N
Hope of the years was his	O
The golden and garnered sheaves	P
Fair on the hills of autumn	Q
Reddened the apples of peace	R
	-
Dead or is it a dream	C
Dead in the prime of his years	D
And laid in the lap of the dust	E
	-
Aye it is but a dream	C
For the life of man is a dream	C
Dead in the prime of his years	D
And laid in the lap of the dust	E
Only a handful of ashes	F
Moldering down into dust	E
	-
Only a handful of ashes	F
Moldering down into dust	E
Aye but what of the breath	S
Blown out of the bosom of God	T
What of the spirit that breathed	U
And burned in the temple of clay	V
Dust unto dust returns	W
The dew drop returns to the sea	G
The flash from the flint and the steel	X
Returns to its source in the sun	Y
Change cometh forever and aye	Z
But forever nothing is lost	A2
The dew drop that sinks in the sand	B2
Nor the sunbeam that falls in the sea	G
Ah life is only a link	C2
In the endless chain of change	D2
Death giveth the dust to the dust	E
And the soul to the infinite soul	E2
For aye since the morning of man	F2
	-
Since the human rose up from the brute	G2
Hath Hope like a beacon of light	H2
Like a star in the rift of the storm	I2
Been writ by the finger of God	T
On the longing hearts of men	J2
O follow no goblin fear	K2
O cringe to no cruel creed	L2
Nor chase the shadow of doubt	M2
Till the brain runs mad with despair	N2
Stretch forth thy hand O man	F2
To the winds and the quaking earth	O2
To the heaving and falling sea	G
To the ultimate stars and feel	X
The throb of the spirit of God	T
The pulse of the Universe	P2
