Hoy, Buddy !8jJ|;iiey'rf sleepin' where graven aro green,
Where poppies blow proud overhead.
Hey, Buddy! Our comrades are restin' serene
In the ranks of the glorified dead.
We've offered your prayer at the crosses out there,
As larks trilled their praise from above;
And over the sod ever hallowed by God
Waved the Star Bangled Banner you love.
Hey, Buddy! We've fteen 'em and told 'em you grieve
For days when you shared in their lot;
But they're on a detail from which there's no leave;
Nor yet turmoil, nor powder, nor shot.
Hey, Buddy! They're drowsin' where grasses are green;
Hey, Buddy! Our comrades are restin' serene.
They Sleep!
