Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHI JBJB| O come you down from the far hills | A |
| Whereon you fought triumphed and died | B |
| Men at whose names the quick blood thrills | A |
| And the heart's troubled in our side | B |
| - | |
| Your shadows o'er our fields ere night | C |
| Draw from the shadow of old trees | D |
| Ghost hallowed run the streams and light | C |
| Hangs halo wise in the great peace | E |

| Warriors of England whom we praise | F |
| Ah vain all praise your spirit is not | G |
| Lost in the meanness of these days | F |
| Not wholly is your charge forgot | G |
| - | |
| And this perplexity of strife | H |
| Not all estrang egrave d leaves our heart | I |
| England is ours yet and her life | H |
| Has yet in ours the purest part | I |
| - | |
| But come you down and stand you yet | J |
| A little closer to our side | B |
| Or in the darkness we forget | J |
| The cause for which Earth's noblest died | B |
