Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : M. Deeves
[00:04.133] The muffled drum is beating
[00:08.639] There's a sad and solemn tread
[00:13.118] Our banner's draped in mourning
[00:17.868] As it shrouds thy illustrious dead
[00:22.337] Proud forms are bent with sorrow
[00:26.811] And all southern hearts are sore
[00:31.283] The hero now is sleeping
[00:35.754] Noble Stonewall is no more
[00:40.513] Mid the rattling of the muskets
[00:45.000] And the cannons thundrous roar
[00:49.482] He stained the field of glory
[00:53.948] With his brave life's precious gore
[00:58.427] And though our flag waved proudly
[01:03.188] We were victors ere sunset
[01:07.673] The gallant deeds of Chancelorsville
[01:12.426] Will mingle with regret
[01:53.822] They've borne him to an honored grave
[01:58.025] The lawrel crowns his brow
[02:02.223] By hallowed Jame's silent wave
[02:06.699] He's sweetly sleeping now
[02:11.456] Virginia to the South is dear
[02:16.218] She holds a sacred trust
[02:20.419] Our fallen braves from near and far
[02:24.894] Are covered with her dust
[02:29.935] She shrines the spot where now is laid
[02:34.139] The bravest of them all
[02:38.616] The Martyr of our country's cause
[02:43.375] Our idolized Stonewall
[02:47.847] But tho' his spirit's wafted
[02:52.052] To the happy realms a bove
[02:56.810] His name shall live forever linked
[03:01.288] With reverence and love
