"Always, Frederick; ever so.''

Comrades, haiti the field is chosen,
Meath the skies of Southern May,
Where the Southern roses ripen,
We will bivouac to-day.
Here no foe will draw our sabres
In the turbulence of war,
Nor will drum beat, nor will bugle
Wake the old pain in scar.
All is rest, and calm-around us
Beauty's smile and manhood's prime
Scents of spring, like ships, 60 sailing
Balmy seas of summer time.
Flags of battle, hanging yonder,
Flutter not at strife's increase;
On their pulses lie the fingers
Of the Great Physician-Peace.
In the marble camp before us
Silence PAGES to and fro
Spectre of the din of battles
Hard fought in the long ago.
While he marches, from the meadows,
Der the heights, around the curves,
Come the men of many combats-
Deaths Grand Army Of Reserves.
In the swift advancing columns
Many battle-blazoned name,
While Stewart, Ewell, Hays and Ashby,
| Bears the honor cross of tame.
Down the spectral line it flashes
| Glorious symbol of reward
Won when all the world was looking
Unto Lee and Beaurcgard.
From the war-grayes of Mana ssas,
Fredericksburg and Malvern Hill:
Carrick's Ford and Massanutton,
Fast fl,a cholnwv lnrinnc fSIl
From the far off Rappabannock,
From the red fields of Cross Keys;
Gettysburg-t the Wilderncsses-
From defeats and victories.
Tired trooper, weary marcher,
! Grim and sturdy cannoneer-
Veteran gray, and slender stripping,
Hasten to encamp them here.
From the mountains and the river,
From the city and the plain,
Sweeping down to join their leader
Stonewall jackson once again.
There he stands; alive, in granite!
By the hand of genius made
Once again to rise before lis,
Waiting for his "Old Brigade" x
Chieftain - Hero--Christian--Soldie
hihS VI theus anu u1dn VI OOO u
Crystalized about his footsteps,
Greatness marks the path he trod.
Soldiers! Ye who fought with Jackson
Thro' the days and nights of strife;
Bringing from the field Of battle
But the bitter lees of life;
Ye, whose lips have only tasted
Ashen apples from the fray;
Every wound We won beside him,
knights we OIL the field to-day.
Army Of our old Virginia!
Would We write Legend here
That shall win from friend and foemen,
Honor's reyerential tear?
Trace ye then upon this granite
With imperishable pen,
Words that shout their own hozannas,
Stonewall jackson and his menl
