A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers, There was lack of woman's nursing, there was dearth of woman's tears; But a comrade stood beside him, while his life-blood ebbed away, And bent, with pitying glances, to hear what he might say. The dying soldier faltered, and he took that comrade's hand, And he said, "I nevermore shall see my own, my native land; Take a message, and a token, to some distant friends of mine, For I was born at Bingen,--at Bingen on the Rhine. |
..... (Then he talks about the woman he loved) "Tell her the last night of my life (for ere the moon be risen My body will be out of pain--my soul be out of prison), I dream'd I stood with her, and saw the yellow sunlight shine On the vineclad hills of Bingen--fair Bingen on the Rhine. |
