| As billows upon billows roll | B |
| On victory victory breaks | C |
| Ere yet seven days from Richmond's fall | D |
| And crowning triumph wakes | C |
| The loud joy gun whose thunders run | E |
| By sea shore streams and lakes | C |
| The hope and great event agree | F |
| In the sword that Grant received from Lee | F |

| The warring eagles fold the wing | G |
| But not in C sar's sway | H |
| Not Rome o'ercome by Roman arms we sing | G |
| As on Pharsalia's day | H |

| And Freedom's larger play | H |
| All human tribes glad token see | F |
| In the close of the wars of Grant and Lee | F |
