| Soldier rest thy warfare o'er | B |
| Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking | C |
| Dream of battled fields no more | D |
| Days of danger nights of waking | C |
| In our isle's enchanted hall | E |
| Hands unseen thy couch are strewing | C |
| Fairy strains of music fall | E |
| Every sense in slumber dewing | C |
| Soldier rest thy warfare o'er | B |
| Dream of fighting fields no more | D |
| Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking | C |
| Morn of toil nor night of waking | C |

| No rude sound shall reach thine ear | F |
| Armour's clang or war steed champing | C |
| Trump nor pibroch summon here | F |
| Mustering clan or squadron tramping | C |
| Yet the lark's shrill fife may come | G |
| At the day break from the fallow | H |
| And the bittern sound his drum | G |
| Booming from the sedgy shallow | H |
| Ruder sounds shall none be near | I |
| Guards nor warders challenge here | F |
| Here's no war steed's neigh and champing | C |
| Shouting clans or squadrons stamping | C |

| Huntsman rest thy chase is done | J |
| While our slumbrous spells assail ye | K |
| Dream not with the rising sun | J |
| Bugles here shall sound reveill | H |
| Sleep the deer is in his den | L |
| Sleep thy hounds are by thee lying | C |
| Sleep nor dream in yonder glen | L |
| How thy gallant steed lay dying | C |
| Huntsman rest thy chase is done | J |
| Think not of the rising sun | J |
| For at dawning to assail ye | K |
| Here no bugles sound reveill | H |
