There is a word

Version 1
There is a word Which bears a sword Can pierce an armed man - It hurls it's barbed syllables And is mute again - But where it fell The Saved will tell On patriotic day, Some epauletted Brother Gave his breath away!

Wherever runs the breathless sun - Wherever roams the day - There is it's noiseless onset - There is it's victory! Behold the keenest marksman- The most accomplished host! Time's sublimest target Is a soul "forgot"!
