  "Ah, how the withering tempest blew
  
  Against the front of Pettigrew!
  
  A Khamsin wind that scorched and singed
  
  Like that infernal flame that fringed
  
  The British squares at Waterloo!
  
  A thousand fell where Kemper led;
  
  A thousand died where Garnett bled:
  
  In blinding flame and strangling smoke
  
  Their remnant through the batteries broke
  
  And crossed the works with Armistead.
  
  "Once more in Glory's van with me!"
  
  Virginia cried to Tennessee;
  
  "We two together, come what may,
  
  Shall stand upon these works to-day!"
  
  Brave Tennessee! In reckless way
  
  Virginia heard her comrade say:
  
  "Close round this rent and riddled rag!"
  
  What time she set her battle-flag
  
  Amid the guns of Doubleday.
