Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJCKLJH MNEJOP QRSTUVRVJWX YMMZ| NOT alone those camps of white O soldiers | A |
| When as order'd forward after a long march | B |
| Footsore and weary soon as the light lessen'd we halted for the | C |
| night | D |
| Some of us so fatigued carrying the gun and knapsack dropping | E |
| asleep in our tracks | F |
| Others pitching the little tents and the fires lit up began to | G |
| sparkle | H |
| Outposts of pickets posted surrounding alert through the dark | I |
| And a word provided for countersign careful for safety | J |
| Till to the call of the drummers at daybreak loudly beating the | C |
| drums | K |
| We rose up refresh'd the night and sleep pass'd over and resumed | L |
| our journey | J |
| Or proceeded to battle | H |
| - | |
| Lo the camps of the tents of green | M |
| Which the days of peace keep filling and the days of war keep | N |
| filling | E |
| With a mystic army is it too order'd forward is it too only | J |
| halting awhile | O |
| Till night and sleep pass over | P |
| - | |
| Now in those camps of green in their tents dotting the world | Q |
| In the parents children husbands wives in them in the old and | R |
| young | S |
| Sleeping under the sunlight sleeping under the moonlight content | T |
| and silent there at last | U |
| Behold the mighty bivouac field and waiting camp of all | V |
| Of corps and generals all and the President over the corps and | R |
| generals all | V |
| And of each of us O soldiers and of each and all in the ranks we | J |
| fought | W |
| There without hatred we shall all meet | X |
| - | |
| For presently O soldiers we too camp in our place in the bivouac | Y |
| camps of green | M |
| But we need not provide for outposts nor word for the countersign | M |
| Nor drummer to beat the morning drum | Z |
