1.
The sun was slowly setting
Behind the woody hills;
And murm'ring sounds were gushing
From many joyous rills;
When thro' the shadow'd valley
An aged soldier came;
His stern and hardy features
Bore many a mark of fame.

2.
He gaz'd upon the Village
Where first the light he saw;
Where was his father's cottage,
By elm trees shaded o'er?
The church was there-- the graveyard,
And there the old oak tree;
"Ah! happy days of childhood!
But none remember me!"

3.
He found his home in ruins,
The graveyard told the rest;
There slept his aged parents,
Beneath earth's grassy breast.
Although he'd breasted danger
And bled on land and sea;
He sigh'd, "I now surrender,
For none remember me!"
