The following lines were written impromptu
lady to her sons who are now in Virginia:
My children, havo sent thee forth
To battle for the right;
God give each youthful arm the power
lie gives to men of might.
Anxious will bc my throbbing heart
AT every passing tale,
Thy mothers soul shnll faltcr not,
Although her check grows pale.
My hand upon your bonded heads.
In blessings ! have laid,
And to the righteous Lord of Hosts
This was the prayer made:
oh let my children, gracious God
Be thy peculiar care,
BE with them in the battle field,
Re with them through tho war!
Keep from their young and manly forms
The sconrgc. Disease, away;
Keep stainless still their honor bright,
Keep pure their hearts. Iprny.

All valiant deeds 10 dare.

Knew no such word rs fear
Boys you have won high rcnown;
Think of y0ur free born sircs;
Strike for the mother that gave you birth,
Your native homes and frcs
Think of their wntchword who assail!
Prcss hard the savage foe,
Nor pause until, its stars grow pale,
Their trcdchrrous flag lies low
