_____So, when the summer calleth
__________On forest and field of grain,
_____With an equal murmur falleth
__________The cooling drip of the rain:
_______________Under the sod and the dew,
____________________Waiting the judgment-day;
_______________Wet with the rain, the Blue,
____________________Wet with the rain, the Gray.
_____Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
__________The generous deed was done,
_____In the storm of the years that are fading
__________No braver battle was won:
_______________Under the sod and the dew,
____________________Waiting the judgment-day;
_______________Under the blossoms, the Blue,
____________________Under the garlands, the Gray.
_____No more shall the war cry sever,
__________Or the winding rivers be red;
_____They banish our anger forever
__________When they laurel the graves of our dead!
_______________Under the sod and the dew,
____________________Waiting the judgment-day;
_______________Love and tears for the Blue;
____________________Tears and love for the Gray.
