In the dream of the Northern poets	A
The brave who in battle die	B
Fight on in shadowy phalanx	C
In the field of the upper sky	B
And as we read the sounding rhyme	D
The reverent fancy hears	E
The ghostly ring of the viewless swords	F
And the clash of the spectral spears	G
	-
We think with imperious questionings	H
Of the brothers whom we have lost	I
And we strive to track in death's mystery	J
The flight of each valiant ghost	K
The Northern myth comes back to us	L
And we feel through our sorrow's night	M
That those young souls are striving still	N
Somewhere for the truth and light	M
	-
It was not their time for rest and sleep	O
Their hearts beat high and strong	P
In their fresh veins the blood of youth	Q
Was singing its hot sweet song	P
The open heaven bent over them	R
Mid flowers their lithe feet trod	S
Their lives lay vivid in light and blest	T
By the smiles of women and God	S
	-
Again they come Again I hear	U
The tread of that goodly band	V
I know the flash of Ellsworth's eye	B
And the grasp of his hard warm hand	V
And Putnam and Shaw of the lion heart	W
And an eye like a Boston girl's	X
And I see the light of heaven which lay	Y
On Ulric Dahlgren's curls	X
	-
There is no power in the gloom of hell	Z
To quench those spirits' fire	A2
There is no power in the bliss of heaven	B2
To bid them not aspire	C2
But somewhere in the eternal plan	D2
That strength that life survive	E2
And like the files on Lookout's crest	T
Above death's clouds they strive	E2
	-
A chosen corps they are marching on	F2
In a wider field than ours	G2
Those bright battalions still fulfill	N
The scheme of the heavenly powers	G2
And high brave thoughts float down to us	L
The echoes of that far fight	M
Like the flash of a distant picket's gun	B2
Through the shades of the severing night	M
	-
No fear for them In our lower field	H2
Let us keep our arms unstained	I2
That at last we be worthy to stand with them	R
On the shining heights they've gained	I2
We shall meet and greet in closing ranks	C
In Time's declining sun	B2
When the bugles of God shall sound recall	J2
And the battle of life be won	B2
