Has passed and the boys have marched. 
away, 
Many to return no more, 
Dame Boston donned her gala dress 
To greet the boys in blue, 
And proud she was of her noble guests, 
With hearts so brave and true. 
From every state in our broad land, 
They came in grand array, 
Proudly bearing the same old flags 
That they had borne in the fray. 
There were empty sleeves and halting steps, 
That told of their fighting days, 
When the soldier boy was at the front, 
Winning the nation’s praise. 
Many dear boys have been mustered out 
By the tap of the Angels’ drums, 
Relieved at last by the great, grand rounds, 
To sleep till the morning comes. 
Bravely, silently, they are passing out, 
Taps sounding the close of life’s day, 
God rest their souls and give them sweet 
sleep, 
Till they hear the grand reveille. 
What tho’ the nation its money does spend 
To pension the old boys in blue! 
"Tis but a just salvage for saving the ship; 
They’ll never get all that’s their due. 
For only a few short years at their best 
Will we have these white-haired boys. 
Let us do our best to cheer them on 
And add each day to their joys.
