WE LOST OUR CLYDE THIS PAST WEEKEND
A STEADY OFFWHEEL HORSE, FAITHFUL, TRIED AND TRUE.
THE TEAR STAINED FACES OF WE ARTILLERYMEN,
A FINAL FITTING TRIBUTE, BIDDING A FOND ADIEU.

WE BATTERY MATES REVERED HIM, A FAVORITE TO EACH AND ALL,
HIS CALM STRENGTH AND DEMEANOR, HIS BRIGHT EYES AND BUSHY MANE.
TO PULL OR BRAKE, PIECE OR CAISSON, HE MORE THAN MET THE CALL.
OUR MEMORIES OF HIS LOYAL SERVICE SHALL EVERMORE REMAIN.

HE FOUGHT HIS FINAL BATTLE ON AN EMERALD BLUEGRASS FIELD,
AND FELL AT HIS OFFWHEEL DUTY POST GIVING, TO THE LAST, HIS BEST.
THE KENTUCKY RANGERS GENTLY LAID HIM ON A RIDGE NEAR PERRYVILLE,
THE CAP'N SAID GOODBYE OLD FRIEND, REST, YOU MET OUR EVERY TEST.

MAY HIS EMPTY PLACE, BY EDITH, ON THE BATTERY PICKET LINE
BE RESERVED FOREVER, AS A MEMORIAL, TO TEMPER OUR REMORSE.
FOR SURELY THERE'S A HEAVEN FOR BELOVED ARTILLERY EQUINE
WHERE OLE CLYDE WILL GRAZE FOREVER, A TRULY FAITHFULL HORSE.
