KOREAN WAR PROJECT KEY NO: 5643
Tread lightly, 'tis a soldiers grave,
A lonely mossy mound;
And yet to hearts like mine and thine
It should be holy ground.
Speak softly, let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips where sweetly sleeps
The Hero in his rest.
For him, no reveille will beat,
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no tatto rolls
Its thunders from the drum.
Tread lightly! For a man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
His ashes to his native land,
His gallent soul to God.
