Where furious Frank and fiery Hun

Shout in their sulphurous canopy.

The combat deepens. On, ye brave, 25

Who rush to glory, or the grave!

Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave,

And charge with all thy chivalry!

Few, few shall part, where many meet;

The snow shall be their winding-sheet; 30

And every turf beneath their feet

Shall be a soldier’s sepulchre.
