We buried him darkly at dead of night, The sods with our bayonets turning; By the struggling moonbeam’s misty light And the lantern dimly burning. No useless coffin enclosed his breast, Nor in sheet nor in shroud we wound him, But he lay like a warrior taking his rest With his martial cloak around him. Few and short were the prayers we said, And we spoke not a word of sorrow; But we steadfastly gazed on the face that was dead, And we bitterly thought of the morrow. We thought, as we hollowed his narrow bed And smoothed down his lonely pillow, That the foe and the stranger would tread o’er his head, And we far away on the billow! Lightly they’ll talk of the spirit that’s gone And o’er his cold ashes upbraid him, But little he’ll reck, if they let him sleep on In the grave where a Briton has laid him. But half of our heavy task was done When the clock struck the hour for retiring; And we heard the distant and random gun That the foe was sullenly firing. Slowly and sadly we laid him down, From the field of his fame fresh and gory; We carved not a line, and we raised not a stone, But left him alone with his glory.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Charles Wolfe" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/charles-wolfe/the-burial-of-sir-john-moore-after-corunna-not-a-drum-was-heard-not-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc5/charles-wolfe-57495_epitaph_the-burial-of-sir-john-moore-after-corun_394074.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc5/charles-wolfe-57495_epitaph_the-burial-of-sir-john-moore-after-corun_394074.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc5/charles-wolfe-57495_epitaph_the-burial-of-sir-john-moore-after-corun_394074.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna\" Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corse to the…” — Charles Wolfe", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/buried-buried/charles-wolfe/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/buried-buried/charles-wolfe/", "name": "Buried Buried Quotes by Charles Wolfe", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/buried-buried/charles-wolfe/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fc5/charles-wolfe-57495_epitaph_the-burial-of-sir-john-moore-after-corun_394074.jpg" }, "description": "1 Buried Buried quotes by Charles Wolfe.
