Tune:ASE'S DEATH
Composer:Edward Grieg

261. Who goes there, in the night

1. Who goes there, in the night,
Across the storm-swept plain?
We are the ghostsof a valiant war—
A million murdered men!

2. Who goes there, at the dawn,
Across the sunswept plain?
We are the hosts of those who swear:
It shall not be again!
AMEN
