 (Found on a Confederate Sergeant of Jackson's Brigade, taken nl 
 ■Winchester, Ya.) 
 
 Come, stack arms, men ! Pile on (he rails, 
 
 Stir up (lie camp-fire bright, 
 No matter if the canteen fails, 
 
 We'll make a rousing night ! 
 Here Shenandoah brawls alon<r, 
 
 And burly Blue-Ridge echoes strong, 
 To swell our brigade's routing song, 
 
 Of " Stonewall Jackson's wa\ !" 
 
 We see him now, — the old slouched hat, 
 
 Cocked o'er his eye askew, — 
 The shrewd dry smile, — -the speech so pat. 
 
 So calm, so blunt, so true 
 The " Blue Light Elder," his foe knows well. 
 
 Says he " that's banks, — he don't like shell. 
 *Lord save his soul! — we'll give him — well," 
 
 That's "Stonewall Jackson's way.'' 
 
 Silence! ground arms! kneel all ! caps aff! 
 
 Old " Blue Lights" going to pray, 
 Strangle the fool that dares to scoff, 
 
 Attention ! it's his way ! 
 Appealing from his native sod 
 
 In forma pauperis to (iod. 
 Say " Bare thine arm. stretch forth thy rod. 
 
 Amen!" "That's Stonewall Jackson's way." 
 
 lie's in the saddle now. Fall in ! 
 
 Steady the whole brigade ; 
 Hill's at the ford, cut off, we'll win 
 
 His way out, ball and blade ! 
 What matter if our shoes are worn. 
 
 What matter if our feet are torn ! 
 Quick step ! we're with him ere the dawn. 
 
 That's "Stonewall Jackson's ways!" 
 
 The sun's bright lances, rout the mists, 
 
 Of morning, and by George ! 
 Here's Longstrect, struggling in the lists. 
 
 Hemmed in an ugly g" r g c - 
 Pope and his Yankees tierce before, 
 
 Bay'nets aud grape ! hear Stonewall roar. 
 Charge Steuart ! and pay off Ash by 's score. 
 
 In " Stonewall Jackson's way!" 
 
 Ah ! maiden wait, and watch, and yearn, 
 
 For news of Jackson's band, 
 Ah ! widow view with eyes that burn. 
 
 That ring upon the hand ; 
 Ah ! wife sew on, pray on, hope on, 
 
 Thy life shall not be all forlorn 
 The foe had better ne'er been born, 
 
 Than get in " Stonewall's way." 
 
 * Original MS. 
 
 " Lord save liis soul ! we'll give him bell ! 
 In Stonewall Jackson's way."
