In this 1904 song, a soldier says farewell to his sweetheart named Blue Bell, asking her to be brave in his absence. The soldier will be thinking of Blue Bell while he is away--even during the chaos of battle. Other soldiers return from the war, but our solider does not.

Here are the lyrics by Edward Madden:

Blue Bell, the dawn is waking.
Sweetheart, you must not sigh.
Blue Bell, my heart is breaking.
I've come to say goodbye.

Hear how the bugle's calling,
Calling to each brave heart.
Sweetheart, your tears are falling.
Blue Bell, we two must part.

Goodbye, my Blue Bell. Farewell to you.
One last fond look into your eyes so blue.

'Mid campfires gleaming 'mid shot and shell
I will be dreaming of my own Blue Bell.

Blue Bell, they are returning.
Each greets a sweetheart true.
Blue Bell, your heart is yearning,
Never a one greets you.

Sadly they tell the story,
Tell how he fought and fell.
No tho't of fame or glory,
Only of his Blue Bell.
