First Line	Verse: Trumpeter, what are you sounding now?
Lyrics	VERSE 1: Trumpeter, what are you sounding now? (Is it the call I'm seeking?) "You'll know the call" said the Trumpeter tall, "When my trumpet goes a-speakin'. I'm rousin' 'em up, I'm wakin' 'em up, The tents are a-stir in the valley, And there's no more sleep, with the sun's first peep, For I'm soundin' the old 'Reveille'. Rise up!" said the Trumpeter tall. VERSE 2: Trumpeter, what are you sounding now? (Is it the call I'm seeking?) "Can't mistake the call" said the Trumpeter tall, "When my trumpet goes a-speakin'. I'm urgin' 'em on, They're scamperin' on, There's a drummin' of hoofs like thunder. There's a madnin' shout as the sabres flash out, For I'm soundin' the 'Charge' no wonder! And it's Hell!" said the Trumpeter tall. VERSE 3: Trumpeter, what are you sounding now? (Is it the call I'm seeking?) "Lucky for you if you hear it at all, For my trumpet's but faintly speakin'. I'm callin' 'em home! Come home! Come home! Tread light o'er the dead in the valley, Who are lyin' around face down to the ground, And they can't hear me sound the 'Rally'. But they'll hear it again in a grand refrain, when Gabriel sounds the last 'Rally'. But they'll hear it again in a glad refrain, when Gabriel sounds the last 'Rally."
