The Song of Lancaster, Kentucky / To the statesmen, soldiers, and citizens of Garrard County.

by Eugenia Dunlap Potts

Let the ashes crumble, crumble,

To the dust of buried vengeance.

Let no moon wax o’er Lancaster,

But may shed her beams in gladness;

Let no moon wane o’er the city,

But illumes with love and pardon.
