how to battle for our country and her right; Not veil our heads in darkness and wail Virginia's night. We'd remember we have children — how can they dare forget? Is it case that thus beguiles you? You cannot fear their threat. Weep, Daughters of Virginia! weep for her old renown; Weep that our glorious Mother has lost her ancient crown. But e'en amidst our tears, this we'll remember well, Twas the treason of her children by which Virginia fell. Your mothers and your sisters, your wives and daughters, weep! Can you remember, men, how swords from scabbards leap? Have you forgot your honor, that you meekly bear their sneers? But surely you'll remember now, when you see our bitter tears. Alas! that we should weep, save with a woman's pride, That those we loved had battled for their country ere they died. We'd not forget them in their graves; but tell with swelling heart. How Virginia's sons could bleed and die, but not with honor part. Virginia. Gloucester County.
