The Final Muster

The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo'
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few;
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread;
But Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

--- Theodore O'Hara, 1847

Nor Shall their glory be forgot while fame her records keeps,

Or honor points the hallowed spot, where valor proudly sleeps

Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's blight, nor time's remorseless doom,

Can dim one ray of holy light that gilds their glorious tomb.

No more the bugle calls the weary ones;

rest noble spirits in thy graves alone;

We'll find you among the good and true,

Where robes of white are given for our faded coats of blue.
