At Last May They Rest

The sad roll of far off drums has faded. Caskets have been lowered At last, May They Rest. The blood soaked ground may dry The sounds of cannon fire may cease At last, May They Rest. May their spirits live on as their bodies lay silent. At last, May They Rest. After witnessing it all and living on Their spirits wander lost through lands they once knew. At last. May They Rest.

I visited Gettysburg battle field and this is what came to mind. It applies to every war too, I guess.
