First Line: The organ swells, the trumpets sound
Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis
The organ swells the trumpets sound
The lamps in triumph glow
And none of all those thousands round
Regards who sleeps below
Those haughty eyes that tears should fill
Glance clearly cloudlessly
Those bounding breasts that grief should thrill
From thought of grief are free
His subjects and his soldiers there
They blessed his rising bloom
But none a single sigh can spare
To breathe above his tomb
Comrades in arms I've looked to mark
One shade of feeling swell
As your feet trod above the dark
Recesses of his cell.
