Camp near Triune Tennessee, March 11, 1863

En gang mer på Livets Banne
At ud forre nogle ord
Her vi går som af Sedvane
Under giver Spyd og Sord
Ja for vor grundlov og fridoms sag
Os stride vil til Domme dag.

Bernt Olmanson

(The above verse translated into English, but not in rhyme)

Once again on life’s journey
To write a few words
Here we walk as of a habit
Under gun, bayonet and sword,
Yes, for our law and freedom’s cause
Fight we will until doomsday.
