He lies in an unknown grave ; He died for his King and Country , Now sleeps among the brave . He was every inch a soldier , His comrades told the truth ; But he departed this life , Just in the bloom of youth . Death snatched him off so quickly , But we should like to place a wreath No chance to say good - byes ; Just where his body lies . Some day we hope to meet him , With Christ his blessed Saviour , In that bright land so fair ; We trust to meet him there .
