A Banner Life

See the man without a crown Lying, dying on the ground Music that once filled his head Sadly now those notes are dead See the mourners standing round Sighing, crying the only sound His eulogy was softly read In memory of the life he led See the field in which he lay Flags flying on a cloudy day His banner ever now will wave Just one more soldier in the grave
