[00:06.263]	Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him.
[00:11.417]	There will be one vacant chair.
[00:16.463]	We shall linger to caress him,
[00:21.804]	While we breathe our ev'ning prayer.
[00:26.982]	When a year ago we gathered,
[00:32.253]	Joy was in his mild blue eye.
[00:37.520]	But a golden cord is severed.
[00:42.642]	And our hopes in ruin lie.
[00:47.726]	Oh we shall meet, but we shall miss him.
[00:53.049]	There will be one vacant chair.
[00:58.222]	We shall linger to caress him,
[01:03.355]	While we breathe our ev'ning prayer.
[01:08.432]	At our fireside, sad and lonely,
[01:13.791]	Often will the bosom swell,
[01:18.887]	At remembrance of the story,
[01:24.063]	How our noble Willie fell.
[01:29.137]	How he strove to bear our banner,
[01:34.316]	Thro' the thickest of the fight,
[01:39.273]	And uphold our country's honor
[01:44.323]	In the strength of manhood's might.
[01:49.459]	Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him.
[01:54.739]	There will be one vacant chair.
[01:59.800]	We shall linger to caress him,
[02:04.886]	While we breathe our ev'ning prayer.
[02:29.536]	True they tell us wreaths of glory,
[02:34.852]	Evermore will deck his brow,
[02:39.659]	But this soothes the anguish only,
[02:44.787]	Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now.
[02:49.920]	Sleep today o' early fallen,
[02:55.007]	In thy green and narrow bed.
[02:59.957]	Dirges from the pine and cypress
[03:05.136]	Mingle with the tears we shed.
[03:09.899]	Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him.
[03:15.178]	There will be one vacant chair.
[03:20.231]	We shall linger to caress him,
[03:25.274]	While we breathe our ev'ning prayer.
[03:49.759]	Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him.
[03:54.987]	There will be one vacant chair.
[03:59.937]	We shall linger to caress him,
[04:05.028]	While we breathe our ev'ning prayer.
[04:10.002]	While we breathe our ev'ning prayer.
