The Southern war poetry of the Civil War

by Esther Parker Ellinger

The Stars and Bars: (R. R.)

“’Tis sixty-two!—and sixty-one,

With the old Union, now is gone,”—

The Stars and Bars: Air, “Star Spangled Banner.” (R. B. B., 110.)

“Oh! say do you see now so vauntingly borne

In the hands of the Yankee, the Hessian, and Tory,”—

The Stars and Bars: By A. J. Requier. (Bohemian from the Sunday Delta.)

“Fling wide the dauntless banner—

To every Southern breeze,”—

The Stars and The Bars: (Randolph.)
