There is one left now and his dwelling lies
Low down on the rugged shore
And he knows that three little lads are there
At play round his cabin door
With the strength of noble manhood's prime
With the hopes of the future high
With the land in sight and life so bright
He will not-he cannot die. viii
All is o'er the struggle was dire but brief
The last of the five is gone
Those gallant men who for other's lives
Were ready to risk their own
We do not bid them a last farewell
We will meet on a future day
For the crimson flood of our Saviour's blood
Takes the sins of the world away.
