| And tears fall fast for the last lost child | F |
| Of many a noble race | R |
| Who has perished in that struggle wild | F |
| And left none to fill his place | R |
| - | |
| Yet if above our laurels bright | F |
| Falls many a bitter tear | S |
| Still still may we find a gleam of light | F |
| Our stricken hearts to cheer | E |
| They have fallen in the country s cause | T |
| That their youth and manhood nursed | F |
| They have fallen true to honor s laws | U |
| In a sacred strife and just | F |
