There's a refrain in "Wllie MacBride" who died in 1916, buried in France:

Did they beat the drums slowly, did they sound the fife lowly
Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down
Did the bugles play the Last Post and Chorus
Did the pipes play The Flowers of the Forest?

Thank you for letting me complete the song.
