      Dear-est one,  do you re--mem---ber      When  we   last  did   meet, 
       When the sum-mer breeze is sighing, mournfully along,
       If amid the din of battle, nobly you should fall,
       But our Country called you, loved--one, angels cheer your way;

      When you told me that you lov - ed me,    Kneel- ing at my     feet?
       Or when autumn leaves are falling, sadly breathes the song.
       Far away from those who love you, none to hear you call
       While our South-ern boys are fighting, we can only pray.

     Oh  how  proud  you  stood  be - fore   me,    In  your s suit  of  gray,
      Oft in dreams I see thee lying on the battle plain,
      Who would whisper words of comfort, who would soothe your pain?
      When you strike for God and freedom, let all nations see

     When you vowed to me and country,   Ne'er to go a-stray
      lonely, wounded, even dying, calling but in vain
      Ah! The many cruel fancies, ever in my brain.
      How we loved the southern banner, emblem of the free.
