The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1905-05-10

Hearts entwined like their dissever,
Till that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying now.
And that banner-it is trailing,
While around 1t sounds the wailing
OF people in their woe.
For though conquered, they adore it,
Love the cold, dead hands that bore
it,
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
But oh. wildly they deplore it.
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that banneri True it's CORY,
Yet it's wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust,
For its fame, on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds, for now we must.
Furl that banner, softly slowly!
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not-unfoId it never,
For its peoples hopes are fled.
