Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GGGG EHEH| Forget not the field where they perish'd | A |
| The truest the last of the brave | B |
| All gone and the bright hope we cherish'd | A |
| Gone with them and quench'd in their grave | B |
| - | |
| Oh could we from death but recover | C |
| Those hearts as they bounded before | D |
| In the face of high heaven to fight over | C |
| That combat for freedom once more | D |

| No 'tis not in Man nor in Heaven | E |
| To let Tyranny bind it again | F |

| But 'tis past and though blazon'd in story | G |
| The name of our Victor may be | G |
| Accurst is the march of that glory | G |
| Which treads o'er the hearts of the free | G |
| - | |
| For dearer the grave or the prison | E |
| Illumed by one patriot name | H |
| Than the trophies of all who have risen | E |
| On Liberty's ruins to fame | H |
