Subject: Lyr Req: Burial of Sir John Moore after Coruna
Has any one got the words? It starts off;

Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note
As he corpse to the ramparts we hurried.
Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
O'er the grave where our hero we buried.
We buried him sadly, at dead of night
The sods with our baynets turning
We steadfastly gazed on the face that was dead
And we bitterly thought on the morrow
