Even him who stoutly stood for Wrong, How can we praise? Yet coming days Shall not forget him with this song. EVEN HIM WHO STOUTLY STOOD FOR WRONG HOW CAN WE PRAISE YET COMING DAYS SHALL NOT FORGET HIM WITH THIS SONG
mes now dawning rise, Not mellowly brilliant like the first, But rolled in smoke, whose whitish volumes burst. A baleful brand, a hurrying torch Whereby anew the boats are seen-- A burning transport all alurch! Breathless we gaze; yet still we glean Glimpses of beauty as we eager lean. The effulgence takes an amber glow Which bathes the hill-side villas far; Affrighted ladies mark the show Painting the pale magnolia-- The fair, false, Circe light of cruel War. The barge drifts doomed, a plague-struck 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!
