I	A
NOT with slow funereal sound	B
Come we to this sacred ground	B
Not with wailing fife and solemn muffled drum	C
Bringing a cypress wreath	D
To lay with bended knee	E
On the cold brows of Death	F
Not so dear God we come	C
But with the trumpets blare	G
And shot torn battle banners flung to air	G
As for a victory	E
	-
Hark to the measured tread of martial feet	H
The music and the murmurs of the street	H
No bugle breathes this day	I
Disaster and retreat	H
Hark how the iron lips	J
Of the great battle ships	J
Salute the City from her azure Bay	I
	-
II	A
	-
Time was time was ah unforgotten years	K
We paid our hero tribute of our tears	L
But now let go	M
All sounds and signs and formulas of woe	M
T is Life not Death we celebrate	N
To Life not Death we dedicate	N
This storied bronze whereon is wrought	O
The lithe immortal figure of our thought	O
To show forever to men s eyes	P
Our children s children s children s eyes	P
How once he stood	Q
In that heroic mood	R
He and his dusky braves	S
So fain of glorious graves	S
One instant stood and then	T
Drave through that cloud of purple steel and flame	U
Which wrapt him held him gave him not again	T
But in its trampled ashes left to Fame	U
An everlasting name	U
	-
III	A
	-
That was indeed to live	V
At one bold swoop to wrest	W
From darkling death the best	W
That death to life can give	X
He fell as Roland fell	Y
That day at Roncevaux	S
With foot upon the ramparts of the foe	M
A p an not a knell	Y
For heroes dying so	M
No need for sorrow here	Z
No room for sigh or tear	G
Save such rich tears as happy eyelids know	M
See where he rides our Knight	A2
Within his eyes the light	A2
Of battle and youth s gold about his brow	B2
Our Paladin our Soldier of the Cross	S
Not weighing gain with loss	S
World loser that won all	C2
Obeying duty s call	C2
Not his at peril s frown	D2
A pulse of quicker beat	H
Not his to hesitate	N
And parley hold with Fate	N
But proudly to fling down	D2
His gauntlet at her feet	H
O soul of loyal valor and white truth	E2
Here by this iron gate	N
Thy serried ranks about thee as of yore	F2
Stand thou for evermore	F2
In thy undying youth	E2
	-
The tender heart the eagle eye	A
Oh unto him belong	G2
The homages of Song	G2
Our praises and the praise	S
Of coming days	S
To him belong	G2
To him to him the dead that shall not die	A
