Its lead he followed in gentle ways Which never the valiant mar; A cap we sent him, bestarred, to replace The sun scorched helm of war: A fillet he made of the shining lace Childhood's laughing brow to grace   Not his was a goldsmith's star. ITS LEAD HE FOLLOWED IN GENTLE WAYS WHICH NEVER THE VALIANT MAR A CAP WE SENT HIM BESTAR'D TO REPLACE THE SUN SCORCHED HELM OF WAR A FILLET HE MADE AT THE SHINING LACE CHILDHOOD'S LAUGHING BROW TO GRACE NOT HIS WAS A GOLDSMITH'S STAR
fatalist followed through; In all his great soul found to do Stonewall followed his star. He followed his star on the Romney march Through the sleet to the wintry war; And he followed it on when he bowed the grain-- The Wind of the Shenandoah; At Gaines’s Mill in the giant’s strain-- On the fierce forced stride to Manassas-plain, Where his sword with thunder was clothed again, Stonewall followed his star. His star he followed athwart the flood To Potomac’s Northern shore, When midway wading, his host of braves “_My Maryland!_” loud did roar-- To red Antietam’s field of graves, Through mountain-passes, woods and waves, They followed their pagod with hymns and glaives, For Stonewall followed a star. Back it led him to Marye’s slope, Where the shock and the fame he bore; And to green Moss-Neck it guided him-- Brief respite from throes of war: To the laurel glade by the Wilderness grim, Through climaxed victory naught shall dim, Even unto death it piloted him-- Stonewall followed his star. WHO LIKE HIM COULD STAND OR PURSUE HIS FATE THE FATALIST FOLLOWED THROUGH IN ALL HIS GREAT SOUL FOUND TO DO STONEWALL FOLLOWED HIS STAR HE FOLLOWED HIS STAR ON THE ROMNEY MARCH THROUGH THE SLEET TO THE WINTRY WAR AND HE FOLLOWED IT ON WHEN HE BOWED THE GRAIN THE WIND AT CHENNDOA AT GAINES MILL IN THE GIANT STRAIN ON THE FIERCE FORCED STRIDE TO MANASSAS PLAIN WHERE HIS SWORD WITH THUNDER WAS CLOTHED AGAIN STONEWALL FOLLOWED HIS STAR HIS STAR HE FOLLOWED ATHWART THE FLOOD TO POTOMAC'S NORTHERN SHORE WHEN MIDWAY WAITING HIS HOST OF BRAVES MY MARYLAND LOUD DID ROAR TO RED ANTIETAM'S FIELD OF GRAVES THROUGH MOUNTAIN PASSES WOODS AND WAVES THEY FOLLOWED THEIR PAGOD WITH HYMNS AND GRAVES FOR STONEWALL FOLLOWED A STAR BACK IT LED HIM TO MARY'S SLOPE WHERE THE SHOCK AND THE FAME HE BORE AND TO GREEN MOSS NECK IT GUIDED HIM BRIEF RESPITE FROM THROES OF WAR TO THE LAUREL GLADE BY THE WILDERNESS GRIM THROUGH CLIMAX VICTORY NAUGHT SHALL DIM EVEN UNTO DEATH IT PILOTED HIM STONEWALL FOLLOWED HIS STAR
