| Upon the grave's cold mouth there ever have caresses clung | C |
| For those who died ideally good and grand and pure and young | C |
| Under the scorn of all who clamor There is nothing just | D |
| And bow to dread inquisitor and worship lords of dust | D |
| Let sophists give the lie hearts droop and courtiers play the worm | E |
| Our martyrs of Democracy the Truth sublime affirm | E |
| And when all seems inert upon this seething troublous round | F |
| And when the rashest knows not best to flee ar stand his ground | F |
| When not a single war cry from the sombre mass will rush | G |
| When o'er the universe is spread by Doubting utter hush | G |
| Then he who searches well within the walls that close immure | H |
| Our teachers leaders heroes slain because they lived too pure | H |
| May glue his ear upon the ground where few else came to grieve | I |
| And ask the austere shadows Ho and must one still believe | I |
| Read yet the orders 'Forward march ' and 'charge ' Then from the lime | A |
| Which burnt the bones but left the soul Oh tyrants' useless crime | A |
| Will rise reply Yes yes and yes the thousand thousandth time | A |
