They have watched the South as it forward sped; They have seen how the nation has made greatgain;And over the fields,- where once lay their dead, Now wave the heads of the golden grain. And now the South on its forward rush. Will neer forget its leader dear,And oer the hills there will come a hushAs it thinks of the spirits that hover near. Hannah Elizabeth
