| He passed in the very battle smoke | B |
| Of the war that he had descried | C |
| Three hundred mile of cannon spoke | B |
| When the Master Gunner died | C |

| He passed to the very sound of the guns | D |
| But before his eye grew dim | E |
| He had seen the faces of the sons | D |
| Whose sires had served with him | E |
| - | |
| He had touched their sword hilts and greeted | C |
| With the old sure word of praise | F |
| And there was virtue in touch and speech | G |
| As it had been in old days | F |
| - | |
| So he dismissed them and took his rest | C |
| And the steadfast spirit went forth | H |
| Between the adoring East and West | C |
| And the tireless guns of the North | H |
| - | |
| Clean simple valiant well beloved | C |
| Flawless in faith and fame | I |
| Whom neither ease nor honours moved | C |
| An hair's breadth from his aim | I |

| Never again the war wise face | J |
| The weighed and urgent word | C |
| That pleaded in the market place | J |
| Pleaded and was not heard | C |
| - | |
| Yet from his life a new life springs | K |
| Through all the hosts to come | L |
| And Glory is the least of things | K |
| That follow this man home | M |
