ENGLISH SOLDIER'S SONG OF MEMORY.
Sing, sing in memory of the brave departed,
Let song and wine be pour'd!
Pledge to their fame, the free and fearless-hearted,
Our brethren of the sword!
Let song and wine be pour'd!
Pledge to their fame, the free and fearless-hearted,
Our brethren of the sword!
333
Oft at the feast, and in the fight, their voices
Have mingled with our own;
Fill high the cup, but when the soul rejoices,
Forget not who are gone!
Have mingled with our own;
Fill high the cup, but when the soul rejoices,
Forget not who are gone!
They that stood with us, 'midst the dead and dying,
On Albuera's plain;
They that beside us cheerly track'd the flying,
Far o'er the hills of Spain;
On Albuera's plain;
They that beside us cheerly track'd the flying,
Far o'er the hills of Spain;
They that amidst us, when the shells were showering
From old Rodrigo's wall,
The rampart scaled, through clouds of battle towering,
First, first at Victory's call!
From old Rodrigo's wall,
The rampart scaled, through clouds of battle towering,
First, first at Victory's call!
They that upheld the banners, proudly waving,
In Roncesvalles' dell;
With England's blood the southern vineyards laving,
Forget not how they fell!
In Roncesvalles' dell;
With England's blood the southern vineyards laving,

Our brethren of the sword!
Let song and wine be pour'd!
Pledge to their fame, the free and fearless-hearted,
Our brethren of the sword!
