Where centuries With ceaseless
tide
Sweep DER the nations that have
died
The nations that their course have
There lies a mighty fallen one.
In all her vestal robes, pure white,
She persisted in a single night.
With prayers and tears and many
sigh,
Her lovers saw her fall and die
Upon the breast of Dixie.
They said: Alas! we might have
seen
Orr lady fair a beauteous queen
And cen the foe, with bated breath,
Looked down upon her glorious
death.
Alas alas 1! then let her rest
With laurel on her brow and breast,
Enshrined let all her glories lie
Beneath the ever radiant sky
That spans the land of Dixie.
The blood flowed as the red, red
wine
Flows from the clusters Of the vine,
In waves above her peerless feet
Pressed out of lives that held it
sweet
10 perish ; that twas half divine
10 sleep in death meath Free
doin's shrine.
They slumber on her tender breast,
The truest. fondest, bravest, best
The gallant sons of Dixie.
Our dead, how dear! with eyes
tear-wet,
The living think upon them vet
How sacred the memorial fires
That love in human hearts inspires:
They burn with ever-ceaseless ray
AS long as darkness follows day,
And immortelles their blooms shall
shed
Der marble couch or grass-grown
bed,
That helds the dead of Dixie.
Oh, wind that mingles with the
Ut waters by the wave-kissed shore,
Or, like a blessing, breathes
around
Our homes with sweet, caressing
sound;
Thou bringest now upon thy breath
No note of war, no dirge of death,
But seemest to whisper DER and
Ger:
" Come quickly, oh glad days Of
yore,
To all the land of Dixie"
The bittea dregs are dlained al
last,
The darkness dieth down the past,
Thy trials all with triumph crowned,
Thy noble sons, by toll embrowned,
Have made of every battle plain
A golden field of waving grain;
Thy portals now are decked with
And peace and plenty in thy
bowers,
Oh, peerless land of Dixie!
