Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
\nSings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
\nThere is music in the midst of desolation
\nAnd a glory that shines upon our tears.<\/p>\n
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
\nStraight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
\nThey were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
\nThey fell with their faces to the foe.<\/p>\n
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
\nAge shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
\nAt the going down of the sun and in the morning
\nWe will remember them.<\/p>\n
