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. 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
ose 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? A stoic he, but even more: The iron will and lion thew Were strong to inflict as to endure: 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 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.  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 A STOIC HE BUT EVEN MORE THE IRON WILL AND LION FEW WERE STRONG TO INFLICT AS TO ENDURE 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
