 Tliou art gone to thy rest, 
 
 Tliou br::ve fearless soldier; 
 The world with its woes 
 
 lias passed from thy view: 
 Of all thy companions 
 
 None ever were holder. 
 In honor and jastioe, 
 
 None were more true. 
 
 With heartfelt emotion, 
 
 Thy ehildron now mourn thee : 
 
 Tloir li< nrts droop with sorrow. 
 At til v sudden fall : 
 
 To the grave thy brave soldiers 
 With anguish have borne thee, 
 
 Hut how with submission 
 At heaven's just call. 
 
 Thy people though robbed, 
 
 t Oppressed, and insulted. 
 Butchered and murdered 
 
 By hireling knaves ; 
 Thy name still shall live. 
 
 In the hearts of thy soldiers, 
 They'll die like true patiiots 
 
 Than live like base slaves. 
 
 Though sorrow enshrouds 
 
 The Southern dominions, 
 And rude dogs of war 
 
 Howl o'er its bright plain : 
 And the ground over run 
 
 With Lincoln's vile mini n- 
 Who murder for hire, 
 
 And plunder for gain. 
 
 Yet a bright ray of sunshine. 
 
 Hrcaks through the vast darkness : 
 Tis the spirit of JOHNSTON, 
 
 honking down from above: 
 I le bids his brave Boldiers, 
 
 To be firm and undaunted, 
 
 And trust in their God, 
 Full of truth, might and love!
