 PARTING FROM HER HUSBAND! 
 
 Here is thy trusty blade ! 
 Take it, and wield it in a glorious cause ; 
 Defend our firesides, battle for the laws 
 
 Which our forefathers made ; 
 And stay, that on thy breast my hand 
 
 May place the blue cockade ! 
 
 Go forth to conquer ; where 
 The battle rages fiercest thou wilt be, 
 And I will glory that my Love is there 
 
 Struggling for Liberty. 
 
 Haste to the battle field ! 
 Thy country calls thee to the deadly fight — 
 Go forth undaunted in thy manhood's might, 
 
 Thy noble cause thy shield ; 
 And if thou fallest — hush, heart, thine agony — 
 
 God will defend the right ! 
 
 Where the Palmetto waves 
 O'er manly hearts that struggle to b3 free, 
 That bid defiance bold to Tyranny ; 
 
 Where hospitable graves 
 Are widely yawning for the reckless foe, 
 My lip can bid thee, best beloved, go ! 
 What if thou fallest ? my heart will throb to know 
 
 He died, South, for thee !
