| Leaping along the verge of death and night | B |
| You show me dauntless Youth that went to fight | B |
| Four long years past discovering pride and power | A |
| - | |
| You die but in our dreams who watch you fall | C |
| Knowing that to morrow you will dance again | D |
| But not to ebbing music were they slain | E |
| Who sleep in ruined graves beyond recall | C |
| Who following phantom glory friend and foe | F |
| Into the darkness that was War must go | F |
| Blind banished from desire | A |
| O mortal heart | G |
| Be still you have drained the cup you have played your part | G |
