FAREWELL, FRANK!

(Air: "Barcarolle. [sic]" from the "Tales of Hoffman")

By Gerard J. Lively You've fought your fight, a long good night
 * Is all that we can say.

Sleep on, sleep on, your work is done
 * Brave fighter for the Day.

Kind Mother Earth who gave you birth
 * Receives you to her breast.

For us the Fight, for you the night,
 * The night of well earned rest,

No more you'll feel the cling of steel,
 * You've burst the prison bars,

You gave your life in this our strife,
 * Brave conqueror of stars.

Sleep on, sleep on, your work is done Sleep on, sleep on, sleep on.
