...

My dear Sarah, we shall move on the morrow
I feel impelled, to write a few lines
In this letter, that may fall under your eyes.
The day may be dark and I will be no more.

Sarah my love for you is deathless
It binds me with cables none can break
Yet my love of country's like a strong wind
It pushes me onward to the battlefield

The mem'ries of blissful times spent with you
I feel grateful,  we enjoyed them so long.
It's hard to give up the hopes, I carried so strong.
That we might be together and seen our sons grew

If I die Sarah, my love for you is endless
When my last breath, calls your name on the field.
Forgive my faults and pains, that are real.
I'd wash out with tears, every spot on your happiness

Sarah my love for you is deathless
It binds me with cables none can break
Yet my love of country's like a strong wind
It pushes me onward to the battlefield

Sarah if I could flit around, unseen in death
Then I shall always, be near to your light.
In the gladdest days and darkest nights
The soft breeze you feel, on your cheek will be my breath.

Sarah when the cool air, 'round your temple fans
It shall be my spirit,    passing by.
So Sarah do not mourn me when I die
Think of me gone and wait   til we meet again.

Sarah my love for you is deathless
It binds me with cables none can break
Yet my love of country's like a strong wind
It pushes me onward to the battlefield
