She took up the flag the men hauled down;

In her attic window the staff she set,

To show that one heart was loyal yet.

Up the street came the rebel tread,

Stonewall Jackson riding ahead;

Under his slouched hat, left and right

He glanced; the old flag met his sight.

“Halt!” The dust brown ranks stood fast.

“Fire!” out blazed the rifle blast.

It shivered the window pane and sash,
