The Grenadiers Good-Bye

"When Lieutenant Murray fell, the only words he spoke were,'Forward,

Grenadiers!'"---Press Telegram.

Here they halted, here once more  Hand from hand was rent;

Here his voice above the roar  Rang, and on they went.

Yonder out of sight they crossed,  Yonder died the cheers;

One word lives where all is lost---  "Forward,

Grenadiers!"This alone he asked of fame,  This alone of pride;

Still with this he faced the flame,  Answered Death, and died.

Crest of battle sunward tossed,  Song of the marching years,

This shall live though all be lost---  "Forward,

Grenadiers!"
