| Ye that with me have fought and failed and fought | B |
| To the last desperate trench of battle's crest | C |
| Not yet to sleep not yet our work is nought | C |
| On that last trench the fate of all may rest | C |
| Draw near my friends and let your thoughts be high | D |
| Great hearts are glad when it is time to give | E |
| Life is no life to him that dares not die | D |

| Draw near together none be last or first | C |
| We are no longer names but one desire | G |
| With the same burning of the soul we thirst | C |
| And the same wine to night shall quench our fire | G |
| Drink to our fathers who begot us men | H |
| To the dead voices that are never dumb | I |
| Then to the land of all our loves and then | H |
