Peace to the Slumb'rers!

Peace to the slumb'rers!
They lie on the battle-plain,
With no shroud to cover them;
The dew and the summer rain
Are all that weep over them.
Peace to the slumb'rers!

Vain was their brav'ry! -
The fallen oak lies where it lay
Across the wintry river;
But brave hearts, once swept away,
Are, gone, alas! for ever.
Vain was their brav'ry!

Woe to the conq'ror!
Our limbs shall lie as cold as theirs
Of whom his sword bereft us,
Ere we forget the deep arrears
Of vengeance they have left us!
Woe to the conq'ror!

Poetry of Moore

Thomas Moore
born 1780, died 1852


Poems

Erin! The Tear And The Smile In Thine Eyes
Oh The Shamrock
Oh, The Sight Entrancing
Forget Not The Field
Peace To The Slumb'rers!
Where Shall We Bury Our Shame?
War Song - Remember The Glories Of Brien The Brave
Sound The Loud Timbrel
Fallen Is Thy Throne
War Against Babylon
All That 'S Bright Must Fade
This World Is All A Fleeting Show
I Saw The Moon Rise Clear
Oh, Come To Me When Daylight Sets
Go Where Glory Waits Thee
Oh, Soon Return
There Comes A Time
Fly To The Desert, Fly With Me
Oh, No - Not Ev'n When First We Lov'd
'Tis The Last Rose Of Summer
The Meeting On The Ships
Written On Passing Deadman's Island
