From Winchester and Fisher’s Hill
Brave Sheridan (our glorious Phil.)
The Shenandoah swept like fate,
Where Early found himself too late;
And whence his successor, Longstreet,
Was forced to beat a long retreat,
Sans guns, sans baggage, and sans breath,
Glad to escape pursuing Death!
Then, at Five Forks, he dealt the blow
That laid the rebel squadrons low;
