Do not cry over the dead bodies of fallen fighters
|

|
|
Do not cry over the dead bodies of fallen fighters,
|
|
Who died with weapons in their hands,
|
|
Do not go over them gravestone poems,
|
|
Tears do not fel their ashes!
|
|
|
|
It is not necessary nor hymns, nor tears dead,
|
|
Give them the best honor:
|
|
Tread without fear of dead bodies,
|
|
Carry their banner go!
|
|
|
|
With their enemy, under the banner of the same ideas,
|
|
Keep them fight to the end!
|
|
No honors the best, there is no holier feasts
|
|
To shade a decent fighter! 1865 |
