One man we claim of wrought renown Which not the North shall care to slur; A Modern lived who sleeps in death, Calm as the marble Ancients are: 'Tis he whose life, though a vapor's wreath, Was charged with the lightning's burning breath   Stonewall, stormer of the war. But who shall hymn the roman heart? ONE MAN WE CLAIM OF ROT RENOWN WHICH NOT THE NORTH SHALL CARE TO SLUR A MODERN LIVED WHO SLEEPS IN DEATH CALM AS THE MARBLE ANCIENTS ARE TIS HE WHOSE LIFE THOUGH A VAPOR'S WREATH WAS CHARG'D WITH THE LIGHTNING'S BURNING BREATH STONEWALL STORMER OF THE WAR BUT WHO SHALL HYMN THE ROMAN HEART
one. Shoreward in yawls the sailors fly. But the gauntlet now is nearly run, The spleenful forts by fits reply, And the burning boat dies down in morning’s sky. All out of range. Adieu, Messieurs! Jeers, as it speeds, our parting gun. So burst we through their barriers And menaces every one: So Porter proves himself a brave man’s son.[7] Stonewall Jackson. Mortally wounded at Chancellorsville. (May, 1863.) The Man who fiercest charged in fight, Whose sword and prayer were long-- Stonewall! Even him who stoutly stood for Wrong, How can we praise? Yet coming days Shall not forget him with this song. Dead is the Man whose Cause is dead, Vainly he died and set his seal-- Stonewall! Earnest in error, as we feel; True to the thing he deemed was due, True as John Brown or steel. Relentlessly he routed us; But _we_ relent, for he is low-- Stonewall! Justly his fame we outlaw; so We drop a tear on the bold Virginian’s bier, Because no wreath we owe. Stonewall Jackson. (Ascribed to a Virginian.)
