Lyrics
(Melody by Alice Howard Stetson, Lyrics by Maud Lindsay)
Sing softly, sing sweetly, but join in the song
In praise of our heroes so valiant and strong.
And bring fairest flowers to garland each grave,
Bring memory’s tribute to honor the brave.
Their banner they followed amid shot and shell,
They faced the foe nobly and fought the fight well.
Then bring fairest flowers to garland each grave,
Bring memory’s tribute to honor the brave.
Sing softly, sing sweetly to honor the brave!
