Often shall i think of thee
wheresoever i may be
your image my mind shall still recall
the tear upon your cheek
from the words you couldn't speak
for memory when away remember all
wherever i may go, to wage war with a foe
your picture will be present in my mind
the style with which we stood
the green opening in the woods
where i saw your fair form vanish when i looked behind

Often shall i think of thee
wheresoever i may be
your picture will be present in my mind
your treasured lock of hair
over my heart i'll forever wear
and ill do it until it brings me home my bride
and if my enemies could see
the dear gift you've given to me
he'd never pull his trigger
lest our love he might divide

Often shall i think of thee
wheresoever i may be
your image my mind shall still recall
you have told me love
that all that fall for a cause
the white wing angels carry them away
and our day will come
in that star paved heavenly home
where if i fall in battle
for your coming i will wait
