Yes! many a field and many a flood
Has reddened with Germania’s blood;
Her heroes’ hearts have never quailed,
Though oft by thrice their force assailed!
Let Pea Ridge, Carthage, Wilson’s Creek
And other scenes their praises speak;
Let Murfreesboro with the rest
Their splendid leadership attest;
Where Bragg and all his rebel mass,
Through it received their “coup de grace!”
