If thou, my comrade true would prove,
Now death is closing o'er me
Oh carry me back to the land I love,
Back to the land that bore me.

My honoured cross with crimson band
Close to my heart place on me
My musket put into my hand
And gird my sword upon me.

And there I'll lie...... eyc.


Yep - a level music, 1968 ! Why DO we remember these things???

I Also remember
"Thou'rt like unto a flower,
So fair so beautiful and bright.
I gaze on thee and silence
Steals o'er my heart's delight" etc

and

"There stands n'eath the ??? a walnut tree,
Daily, gaily greener
Her leaves are all waving free"

cheer, Pauline
