TED MOONEY, 1SGT, USA, RET. APRIL 13TH 1936 - 19 APRIL 2005
I WILL SEE YOU ONE DAY AT FIDDLER'S GREEN POP!
Written by poet Theodore O'Hara (1820-1867)
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread;
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foe's advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
Of loved ones left behind.
No vision of the morrow's strife
the warrior's dream alarms;
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their haughty banner, trailed with dust,
Is now their martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow;
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
'Twas in that hour his stern command Called to many a martyr's grave; The flower of his beloved land, The nation's flag to save.
