__________Under the sod and the dew;
_______________Waiting the judgment-day;
__________Under the one the Blue;
_______________Under the other, the Gray.

_____These in the robings of glory,
__________Those in the gloom of defeat,
_____All with the battle-blood gory,
__________In the dusk of eternity meet:
_______________Under the sod and the dew,
____________________Waiting the judgment-day;
_______________Under the laurel, the Blue;
____________________Under the willow, the Gray.

_____From the silence of sorrowful hours
__________The desolate mourners go,
_____Lovingly laden with flowers,
__________Alike for the friend and the foe:
_______________Under the sod and the dew,
____________________Waiting the judgment-day;
_______________Under the roses, the Blue,
____________________Under the lilies, the Gray.

_____So, with an equal splendor,
__________The morning sun-rays fall,
_____With a touch impartially tender,
__________On the blossoms blooming for all:
_______________Under the sod and the dew,
____________________Waiting the judgment-day;
_______________Broidered with gold, the Blue;
____________________Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
