Tempo di Marche Funebre.
1. Rest chieftain rest, now Columbia is free, Rest for thy labors are o'er; Rest in the silence freemen hath made thee, Rest on thy own native shore.
2. Rest noble chieftain, our nation is free, Rest on Columbia's proud shore. Rest while freemen will ever deplore thee Rest with the brave now no more.

Rest as thy glory floats over the sea, Rest for thy work is well done; Rest where arch-angels wait to receive thee, Rest on the soil that thou hast won.
Rest chieftain rest, soon heaven will wake thee, Rest where our banner shall wave Rest where in grace thy shadow reveals thee, Rest in the land of the brave.

Breathe a sad requiem ye millions now free Breathe a sad requiem ye millions now free,
