Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rhythmic Ramblings in Battle Scarred Manassas Stonewall Jackson Our Samson meddled not with self indulgent dalliance - Nor shamed the uses of his God-given strength - Our champion schooled his will to humble self reliance - And followed duty to its utmost length. Not bound and blinded or the sport of fools - Did he at last the dart of death defy - Resigned he bowed to Him who overrules - And strengthened angels by his victory. The "Lost Cause" found The soil baptized in patriot blood Becomes a patriot shrine The purging tide of war´s red strife The sacrificial flow of life Is kin to the divine. Our national escutcheon gleams Like Aaron´s breastplate now; The tribes are one, And freedom´s lamp Shines on a reunited camp While peace renews her vow. For mark it well that freedom´s cause Is served by free intent, That battles lost and battles won Are not the last criterion Of noble sentiment. And they who freely give their all For cherished ideal´s sake May see their banners furled for aye. Their veteran armies melt away With sob of hearts that break. But freedom´s hope will not be lost, Its light can never wane, The blood and tears The long dark years Shall not have been in vain. The cause that calls to its defence The might of faith tilled men That cause tho humbled in the dust By virtue of its nature must Transformed live again.
