"Taps"<br />
<strong>The</strong> melody of TAPS was composed by a nonmusical<br />
(musician with no formal knowledge) who<br />
did not know the technical names of any of the<br />
notes. Union General Daniel Butterfield whistled it<br />
for Brigadier General Oliver <strong>No</strong>rton who wrote the<br />
notes on the back of an envelope July 2 , 1862. <strong>The</strong><br />
plaintive bugle notes that bring an involuntary lump<br />
to the throat typifies our loss and feelings of these<br />
two great buglers.<br />

THE WORDS TO "TAPS"<br />
SAY IT ALL<br />
Day is done, gone the sun<br />
From the lakes, from the hills,<br />
from the skies.<br />
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.<br />
Thanks and praise for our days<br />
'neath the sun, 'neath the stars,<br />
'neath the sky.<br />
As we go, this we know. God is nigh.<br />
