OUR trust is now in thee, Beauregard! In thy hand the God of Hosts Hath placed the sword; And the glory of thy fame Has set the world aflame -- Hearts kindle at thy name, Beauregard! The way that lies before Is cold and hard; We are led across the dese By the Lord! But the cloud that shines by night To guide our steps aright, Is the pillar of thy might, Beauregard! Thou hast watched the southern heavens Evening starred, And chosen thence thine emblems, Beauregard; And upon thy banner's fold Is that starry cross enrolled, Which no Northman shall behold Shamed or scarred. By the blood that crieth loudly From the sword, We have sworn to keep around it Watch and ward, And the standard of thine hand Yet shall shine above a land, Like its leader, free and grand, Beauregard! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG by ANNIE CHAMBERS KETCHUM THE CONQUERED BANNER by ABRAM JOSEPH RYAN ODE TO THE CONFEDERATE DEAD by JOHN ORLEY ALLEN TATE AT MAGNOLIA CEMETERY by HENRY TIMROD VIRGINIA - THE WEST by WALT WHITMAN THE JACKET OF GREY by CAROLINE AUGUSTA BALL MANASSAS [JULY 21, 1861] by CATHERINE ANNE WARFIELD |
