Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Acrostics My little book adrift I send, And ask the South to be my friend; On her for aid I now depend, And will until my life shall end. In her are those from vices free, And all her scenes are dear to me; I now reside in Tennessee, And sing her praise with perfect glee. Her men they have but errors few - They love the gray and hate the blue; Her clime is mild, her sons are true, Her daughters learn´d and handsome, too. It was the South that gave me birth, The richest, dearest spot on earth; I hear within her songs of mirth, And do adore her sterling worth. For three long years I fought for her, With General Lee, a man most dear; Was wounded thrice, and once severe, But still for that I do not care. I only grieve I vainly fought For her I loved, whose good I sought, Which has to her a lesson taught, Although it was too dearly bought. But, in conclusion, I would say, To those with whom I hope to stay, Till I am call´d from earth away, I write to please, expecting pay.
