    You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow
    And I'll he your true love forever.

    Carve on the wooden slab at his head,

    Somebody's heart enshrined him there,
    Somebody wafted his name above,
    Night and morn, on the winds of prayer.
    Somebody wept when he marched away,
    Looking so handsome, brave and grand!
    Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
    Somebody clung to his parting hand.
    Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
    Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
    And there he lies with his blue eyes dim,
    And his smiling, childlike lips apart.

    Into a ward of the whitewashed halls,
    Where the dead and dying lay,
    Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,

    Somebody's darling is stiff and cold.
    Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
    Murmur a prayer soft and low;
    One bright curl from his fair mates take—
    They were somebody's pride, you know.
    Somebody's hand has rested there:
    Was it mother's, soft and white?
    Or had the lips of a sister fair
    Been baptized in their waves of light?
    God knows best! He has somebody's love,
