THE CONFEDERATE FLAG
1.-THE hands of our women made IL,
Baptized i'm our mothers' tears
And drenched with the blood OF our kindred
with hope for these our long years.
Across vale and plains we watched 1t
While the tide Of the battle rolled,
And with streaming eyes have we followed
The Wave of each sCft silken fold.
"As high DER our hosts it fiOated,
Through dust and din Of the fight.
We could catch the CLINT OF spear head
And the flash of crimson light,
W lille the blood of men who bore it
Flowed fast on the reddened PLAIN.
And our cry went up IN anguish
To our God for our martyred slain.
And we wept and watched and waited
BY our lonely household fire,
For the mother gave her inst born
And the daughter gave her sire,
And the wife sent forth her husband,
The maiden her lover sweet,
And hearts kept time in the silence
To the rhythmic tread of their feet.
sAs they marched DER vale and mountain,
While our banner rose and fell,
Though victory often crowned II
As the Northern hosts can tell,
But the whole world was against US.
Our battle we fought alone.
Til the conQuerors-Want and Famine
Bade us lay our cOlors down.
Gold are the loved hands that bore it..
Stiled are the brave hearts and true,
Watching nor waiting can bdng them,
Weeping is all we can do,
Light from our banner has faded,
Ne in its shadow fOrlOrn,
Have only our mem ries left US.
And our battle flag dropping and torn.
mo hand of vandal shall touch it.
'Tis shrined in our heart of hearts
With dearest. hOliest mem'ries.
And the burning tear drop starts.
While laurel we weave and cypress
FOrthe fair. the brave, he good,
The only stain on our banner
Is the stain of our heroes blood.
