The muffled drums
sad roll has beat
the soldiers last tattoo
no more on lifes parade
shall meet
the fallen brave and true
on fames eternal
camping ground
their silent tents are spread
and glory guards
with solemn round
the bivouac of the dead
north side
By the services

all persons
of the United States
were made free!
and every star retained
on the Nations flag.

Now sleep the brave,
