They fought her battles valiantly.
And on her altar died.
Some fell in manhoods golden prime,
AND some in life's glad morning:
But all We're true and gallant men,
The soldiers fame adjoining.
Life was to them most beautiful,
Their hopes and joys were sweet,
Yet holding honor paramount,
Fen death they bravcly meet.
And on hundred battle fields,
Baptized with patriot blood.
They proved their claim to heroes

And made their title good.
All, Should we ever to our shame,
Forget the honor due
These heroes whom we proudly claim
That day We'll dearly rue.
Then. we should Wiley be ahased,
Unworthy of our slrcs;
Uncomprehending noble aims,
The slaves of base desires.
How Southern soldiers fought and died
Long let the tale he told;
Twill be our country's boast and
