Guarding tho wight, rcvcnging the wrong.

Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw it cleaning there,
And know who bore il, knelt to swear
That where TINT sword led they would dare
To follow and to die.

Nor brighter land had cause as grand,
Nor cause n chief like Lee

That sword nigh victor be
And when our triumph wns delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on, while cleaned the bladu,

Forth flashed The sword of leo!
