The Minstrel Boy will return we pray When we hear the news, we all will cheer it, The minstrel boy will return one day, Torn perhaps in body, not in spirit. Then may he play on his harp in peace, In a world such as Heaven intended, For all the bitterness of man must cease, And ev'ry battle must be ended. - The Minstrel Boy words by Thomas Moore. This verse added after the Civil War.
