| Where is now the smile that lightened | B |
| Every hero's couch of rest | C |
| Where is now the hope that brightened | B |
| Honor's eye and Pity's breast | C |
| Have we lost the wreath we braided | D |
| For our weary warrior men | E |
| Is the faithless olive faded | F |
| Must the bay be plucked again | E |

| Passing hour of sunny weather | G |
| Lovely in your light awhile | H |
| Peace and Glory wed together | G |
| Wandered through our blessed isle | H |
| And the eyes of Peace would glisten | I |
| Dewy as a morning sun | I |
| When the timid maid would listen | I |
| To the deeds her chief had done | I |
| - | |
| Is their hour of dalliance over | G |
| Must the maiden's trembling feet | J |
| Waft her from her warlike lover | G |
| To the desert's still retreat | J |
| Fare you well with sighs we banish | K |
| Nymph so fair and guests so bright | L |
| Yet the smile with which you vanish | K |
| Leaves behind a soothing light | L |
| - | |
| Soothing light that long shall sparkle | M |
| O'er your warrior's sanguined way | N |
| Through the field where horrors darkle | M |
| Shedding hope's consoling ray | N |
| Long the smile his heart will cherish | K |
| To its absent idol true | O |
| While around him myriads perish | K |
| Glory still will sigh for you | O |
