| He was a soldier in that fight | B |
| Where there is neither flag nor drum | C |
| And without sound of musketry | A |
| The stealthy foemen come | C |
| - | |
| Year in year out by day and night | B |
| They forced him to a slow retreat | D |
| And for his gallant fight alone | E |
| No fife was blown and no drum beat | D |

| In winter fog in gathering mist | F |
| The gray grim battle had its end | G |
| And at the very last we knew | H |
| His enemy had turned his friend | G |
