When powder grimed our faces black
Mid cannons roar and rifle crack,
When charging brave the foe to meet,
When falling back from grim defeat
One thing we had on which to lean,
Our bosom friend, the old canteen.

There are little mounds on southern soil,
Whoe's [sic, "whose" intended] graves they are, God only knows;
They are sheltered to those who in life's toil,
Met death as brave men meet their foes.
Soldiers Monument
Chartiers Cemetery, Carnegie, Pa.
Dedicated July 21st, 1888
Like stars that sink unto the west,
So one by one we seek our rest;
The columns brave and steady tread,
With banners streaming overhead
Will still keep step as in the past,
Until the rear guard comes at last.
Oh yes, like stars we take our flight,
And whisper one by one good night;
Yet in the light of God's bright day
Triumphant each again will say:
Hail, comrade, here has life begun,
The battle's fought, the victory's won.
