Bearing between them Herbert Cline,

赫伯特·克萊恩后面，輪到他們，

Wounded and bleeding, to answer his name.

他們蹣跚前來，接受挑戰(zhàn)。

“Ezra Kerr!” and a voice said “here!”

“以斯拉·克爾！”“到！”

“Hiram Kerr!” but no man replied:

“海勒姆·克爾！”半天沒有回應(yīng)，

They were brothers, these two; the sad wind sighed,

不寒而栗，風(fēng)聲滾過谷地，

And a shudder crept through the cornfield near.

長久嘆息，殉難的同胞兄弟。

“Ephraim Deane!”—then a soldier spoke:

“以法蓮·迪恩！”有位士兵報(bào)告，

“Deane carried our regiment’s colors,” he said,

迪恩，不愧我們軍團(tuán)驕傲！

When our ensign was shot; I left him dead,

那時，敵人已經(jīng)后退潰敗，

Just after the enemy wavered and broke.

他扛著軍旗沖鋒，中彈倒下。

Close to the roadside his body lies;

他躺在路邊， 快要死了，

I paused a moment and gave him to drink;

我停下腳步， 喂他點(diǎn)水，

He murmured his mother’s name, I think;

他嘴唇囁嚅，或許喚著媽媽，

And death came with it and closed his eyes.

最后，才慢慢閉上雙眼。

It was a victory—yes; but it cost us dear;

勝利到來，我們失去多少兄弟，

For that company’s roll, when called at night,

點(diǎn)名隊(duì)列中，永遠(yuǎn)不會出現(xiàn)。

Of a hundred men who went into the fight,

生死離別，勇士出征幾人回？

Numbered but twenty that answered “here!”

天亦無情，殘陽西下慈母淚。
