ENGLISH SOLDIER'S SONG OF MEMORY.


TO THE AIR OF "AM RHEIN, AM RHEIN!"




Sing, sing in memory of the brave departed,
    Let song and wine be poured!
Pledge to their fame, the free and fearless hearted,
    Our brethren of the sword!

Oft at the feast, and in the fight, their voices
    Have mingled with our own;
Fill high the cup, but when the soul rejoices,
    Forget not who are gone!
