Excerpt: ... my name remembered still With a blessing and a prayer, Do they hide the struggling tear As they mark my vacant place, Yearning sadly, all the while, To behold my missing face? Do they think of me at morn When the red light crowns the hills, And the hunters cheerful horn Through the lonely valley trills? Oh, twould be assurance sweet, While afar Im doomed to roam, Just to know through good or ill That they think of me at home. Do they think of me at noon When the frugal board is spread, And all--all are gathered there Save the absent and the dead? A Camp Song--written for the 11th Regiment Virginia Volunteers. When the foaming cup is filled With the old wine--pure and free, As they drink to loved and lost Do they even think of me? Do they think of me at eve--When the twilights sombre grey Throws a shadow dark and still Oer my vacant place alway?--When the Bible opened is By a weak and trembling hand, And the lighted candle burns Like a taper on the stand? Do they "think of me and wish That I too could bow me there, When the gathered circle meets For the solemn evening prayer? When they ask of God to bless All that to that hearth belong--Do they say--"and shield Thou one When the battle rageth strong?" When the low Amen is said And the night winds murmur by, Like the gentle soothing voice Of a spirit in reply, As they muse their musing thoughts By the hearth-fires mellow light, Do they think of me afar From their sheltered fold tonight? Oh when on the weary march In the Bivouac--or plain, Or when rushing to the front, Mid the wounded and the slain; It would be assurance sweet Wheresoer Im doomed to roam, Just to know all danger mid That they think of me at home. GENERAL GARLAND. ND thus thou comest back to us in thy young glory...
