Transcript	The Officer's funeral Hark! to the shrill trumpets calling To pierceth the soft summer air Tears from each comrad are falling For the widow & orphen are there! The bayonets earth-ward are turning And the drums muffled breath rolls around But he hears not the voice of their mourning Nor awaks to the Bugle's sound Sleep Soldier! thou many regret thee Who stands by thy cold beir today Soon soon shall the kindest forget thee And thy name from the earth pass away The man thou did'st love as a brother A friend in thy place will have gained Thy dog shall keep watch for another And thy steed by a stranger be reighned But the hearts that now mourn for thee sadly Soon joyous as ever shall be Tho' thy bright orphen boy may laugh gladly
