HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE. WORDS BY WM. COLLINS. MUSIC BY CARLO BARDETTI.

How sleeps the brave, who sinks to rest, By all his country's wishes bless'd; When Spring with dewy fingers cold,

Entered according to Act of Congress A.D. 1865 by Endres & Compton, in the Clerk's office of the District Court of the Eastern District of Mo.

Redirge is sung; There Honour comes as pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps his clay And Freedom shall a while repair To dwell a weeping hermit there.
