Excerpt from The Military Sketch-Book, Vol. 2 of 2: Reminiscences of Seventeen Years in the Service Abroad and at Home

And should he, in the battle's raging heat, With valiant heart and arm the foe confounding; Oh should the hero then his death-wound meet, And Victory his glorious knell be sounding, Again to Heaven his eyes he turns, And murmurs with his life's last sigh, Angels bright that dwell above, Tell my country, tell my love, For them-for them I fought, for them I die 3.
