And so to-day--they lay him away--
and an understanding goes--his long sleep shall be
under arms and arches near the Capitol Dome--
there is an authorization--he shall have tomb companions--
the martyred of the Republic--
the buck private--the unknown soldier--that's him.
and an understanding goes--his long sleep shall be
