c.
The Christmas fire at Tokay
Fling welcome far and wide,
Where sits the Host of Tokay,
Unbroken in his pride.
Mayhap some old reveille
Stirs answer in his blood,
Where once, in old Virginia,
Embattled armies stood,
Above the tawny river,
At peace among his trees,
Where misty frowns of ocean
Are routed by the breeze;
He sits, the grand old Bourbon,
In Memory's council hall,
To summon at his bidding,
His comrades, one and all;
Before the fires Of Tokay,
The kingly form of Lee,
Majestic through the shadows
OF immortality;
Comes with the wrath Of Jackson,
Stern figure knit in prayer,
Before the Cod OF Battles,
In reverent homage bare,
Again "Jeb" Stuart is laughing,
The peerless cavalier,
While all the Southern chivalry
People the winter air.
Bedford Forrest leads his charge
And Hampton swings ahead,
With as dashing lot of bold sabreurs
AS e'er the South has bred.
They come again to Tokay
And Memory holds the rein;
They hold high wassail in the hall,
And touch his heart again.
And by the hearth at Tokay,
Renewing OF his youth,
Still sits the gray old Bourbon,
A. soldier true to truth.
God grant him health at Tokay
Until the last great call q
Shall summon forth from Tokay
The Host from out his hall.
