OUR DEAD
Do we weep for the heroes that died
for us,
Who, living, were true and tried for us?
The martyr band
That hallowed our land
With the blood they poured in a tide
for us.
Ah, fearless on many day for us,
They stood in the frontof the fray for us;
Fresh tears should fall,
Forever —o’er all
Who fell while wearing the gray for us.
How many a glorious name for us,
How many a glorious fame for us,
They left—would it not be a shame for
us,
If their memory part
From our land and heart,
And a wrong to them and a blame to
US?
No! no! no! they were brave for us,
And bright were the lives they gave
for us;
The land they struggled to save for us,
Cannot forget
Its warriors yet,
Who sleep—so many in a grave for us.
No! no! no! they were slain for us,
And their blood flowed out in a rain
for us;
And years may go,
But our tears will flow
O’er the dead who died in vain for us.
And their deeds —proud deeds shall re
main
And their names—dear names without
stain for us,
And the glories they won shall not
wane for us,
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray,
Though dead, shall live over again
for us.
—Father Ryan.
Tributes to Lee and Jackson
Lord Wolseley said of Lee:
“He was a being apart and su
perior to all others in every way;
a man with whom none I ever
knew, and very few of whom I
ever read are worthy to be com
pared; a man who was cast in a
grander mould and made of finer
metal than all other men.”
The London Times said of
Jackson: “Not only as a brave
man. fighting for his country’s
independence, but as one of the
most consummate generals that
this country has produced. Stone
wall Jackson will carry with him
to his early grave the regrets of
all who can admire greatness
and genius.”
