    But came the waves and washed it away;
    Agayne I wrote it with a second hand,
    But came the tyde and made my paynes his prey.

Forgotten? No, we never do forget:

Till we shall dare unfold them without pain,--
But we forget not, never can forget.

God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine--
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
