1.-THE BLUE AND THE GRAY
| a song OF pretty maiden's eyes.
| Sauciest eyes of blue:
AS blue as the distant sapphire skies
| When stars are shining through.
| a song Of two eyes of deepest gray,
| Gray as the early morn,
| Which lies so stlll I'm the arms of day
Before the light is born.
| A maiden, q bue-eyed Northern lass,
Sweet and simple and fair;
A flow'r that doomed In a mountain pass
| Away from worldly care.
| A Southern lad with as brave heart
mans breast ever bore.
| But cruelty pierced by Cupid's dart,
Could woman ask for more?
Again meeting of "Blue and Gray,
| No flash of sword or gun;
The blue-eyed lass is bride to-day,
| This war" the "Gray' has won!
