AN APPEAL
FoR THE WIDOWS AND TIE ORPHANS
BY THE
COnfederates in Heaven.
Written for the Ladies' Southern Benevolent
Society of New Orleans,
BY GEy. NJ. JEFF. THOMPSON.

From Potomac's bright-blue waters to the Grande's
turbid flow,
From Mssouris western praries to the Everglades
so low,
Our bones lie bleaching, far and near on many a
stricken field.
Where eer we stood to meet the foe, own low d
South to shield
For years we marched for months we stood be-
meath the battles smoke.
And hunger cold-and sickness faint, would hearts
less true have broke; l
But cheerfully WE bore it all, and went down, one
nv one,- =
Each horing. as he gave HIS life, YOUR Freedom
had been w0n
And now we stand a glorious host in our home a.
bove the clouds.
And the ragged soldiers from the ditch have sun
beams for their shrouds;
Rough-bearded men. and fair-haired boys, are
clothed alike in beauty,
For all have died at honor's post-each one has
done his duty!
But oh how sad our souls still feel as we look down
from above,
And see the Famine, dark and grim, assaiing those
Our aged parents, sisters pure, and beloved wives
and babes.
Have no one left to trork for them since WE filed
soldiers graves!
We know our Country's troddcn down-our BAN
ners trailed and tQrns
We know our comrades did their best, and their
noble hearts now mOurn
But are there not some favored ones, who from out
their bOunteouS store,
Will think of Us in Soldiers graves and contribute
to OUR poor?
We were not hireng soldiers, fighting for the pay
''0ur Country" called "to the 'front.' and the
call we did obey;
But now there is Country to feed and clothe the
heirs
OF those who fell in your defence, sd listen to or
prayers!
From Potomacs bright, blue water, to the Grande's
turbid flow.
From Mssouris western praries to tie Everglades
so low
There are Widows lone, and Orphans, and Mothers
poor and old,
And WE beseech your Charity to check their hun
gcr-pains and cold
New Orleans, Dec. 1866
