As he took the Shenandoah fords;

Giving bold Stuart a bloody chase

Ere he reached again his trysting-place.

Horse and horseman of the foe

The blast of his bugle-charge should know,

And his men should water their steeds, at will,

From the banks of Southern river and rill.

How many are there of us, in this

Discordant social wilderness,
