death song

Grape-shot and bullets sang the death-song of many a brave fellow, but Nicholson was untouched.

It was the voice of Lizette, chanting the death song of the Sioux.

The girl dropped to the ground, drew her blanket over her head, and began to sing her death-song.

Here for a time they stood, when the girl, with a gush of tears, began to sing—it was her death-song.

The death-song rises triumphant above the lash of the waves and that distant but awful booming that is to be heard in the canon.
