Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC DBDBECEC ECECEFEG AHAHECEC| For oh when the war will be over | A |
| We'll go and we'll look for our dead | B |
| We'll go when the bee's on the clover | A |
| And the plume of the poppy is red | B |
| We'll go when the year's at its gayest | B |
| When meadows are laughing with flow'rs | C |
| And there where the crosses are greyest | B |
| We'll seek for the cross that is ours | C |
| - | |
| For they cry to us Friends we are lonely | D |
| A weary the night and the day | B |
| But come in the blossom time only | D |
| Come when our graves will be gay | B |
| When daffodils all are a blowing | E |
| And larks are a thrilling the skies | C |
| Oh come with the hearts of you glowing | E |
| And the joy of the Spring in your eyes | C |
| - | |
| But never oh never come sighing | E |
| For ours was the Splendid Release | C |
| And oh but 'twas joy in the dying | E |
| To know we were winning you Peace | C |
| So come when the valleys are sheening | E |
| And fledged with the promise of grain | F |
| And here where our graves will be greening | E |
| Just smile and be happy again | G |
| - | |
| And so when the war will be over | A |
| We'll seek for the Wonderful One | H |
| And maiden will look for her lover | A |
| And mother will look for her son | H |
| And there will be end to our grieving | E |
| And gladness will gleam over loss | C |
| As glory beyond all believing | E |
| We point to a name on a cross | C |
