A War Song.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Here is the song wanted by W. c. L.,
of Buffalo Gap. Va:
When the bright Sunny South was in
peace and content,
The Years of my boyhood were 5oyously
spent,
When the broad. spreading fields and the
clear flowing streams
Were dear to my memory and seen In
my dreams.
The days of my boyhood have glided
away,
While those of my manhood have bloomed
And now the vile Yankees my freedom
I viii surely repulse them. or fight till
! die.
I have left the refnements and comforts
To Join and partske Of the battle-nelds'
strife.
I have counted the cost and plighted my
word,
That I'll never surrender to the vile
Yankee horde.
My father looked sad. but babe me de-
part.
NV mother embraced me In anguish OF
heart.
And my dear. loving sister looked pale
in her woe.
Though she kissed me and blessed me.
and told me to go.
Oil father. dear father. for me do not
weep,
Though In some mountain forever may
sleep.
OF the danger of war I am fully aware.
And of sickness and trials I expect
full share.
Oil mother. dear mother. for me do not
weep,
Your kind. good advice I forever win
keep.
Your image is near me by night and by
day.
And 1 think of you always. though far.
far away.
Oil sister. dear sister. for me do not
weep,
Your tears and your sorows pain my
heart deep.
For now l must so. here cannot stand.
/ am going in defence OF oui dear home
and land.
The time may soon come. oh. how long
will 1t be?
When from the vile Yankees our homes
will be free.
When the war will be over. and lighting
be done,
And return to the dear. happy. loved
ones at home.
This 10 as learned II during the war.

When on its loneliness unveiled
My FIRST salutes the senses,
A fresh delight to scent and sight

And on Its grace and beauty,
Serenely chaste and pure,
It relgns supreme in Flora's realm,
Conceded cynoeure.
or all the boons to mortals given
In the bounteous grace OF Heaven
There's scarcely one for which We ought TO
Give greater thanks than for pure water,
And the SECONDS which the treasure
Hold, have work surprising measure
In the sustenance they yield
To man and beast and arid field.
Close by her ancient river,
Near by her ancient town,
My WHOLE in old Colonial days
Adorned Virginias crown,
Where cavaliers came pioneers
In the days OF Charles and James,
Her knightly sons in later years
And their imperial danes,
With flow of soul In reasons feast,
Were often wont 10 meet
Around the hospitable board
OF that manoreal seat.
