“Oh, Mother," said the dying boy,
“Look down from heaven on me,
Receive me to thy fond embrace —
Oh, take me home to thee.
I've loved my country as my God;
To serve them both I've tried,”
I: He smiled, shook hands— death seiezd the boy
Who prayed before he died. :|

Each soldier wept, then, like a child—
Stout hearts were they, and brave;
The flag his winding —sheet— God's Book
The key unto his grave.
They wrote upon a simple board
These words; This is a guide
I: To those who'd mourn the drummer boy
Who prayed before he died. ll
QU
Ye angels ’round the Throne of Grace,
Look down upon the braves,
Who fought and died on Shiloh's plain,
Now slumb'ring in their graves!
How many homes made desolate —
How many hearts have sighed—
Il: How many, like that drummer boy,
Who prayed before they died! :|
