Quotes

  • Thy skirts indeed the foe may part, Thy robe be pierced with sword and dart, They shall not touch thy noble heart, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Carolina!
  • And down the dunes a thousand guns lie crouched, Unseen, beside the flood — Like tigers in some Orient jungle crouched That wait and watch for blood. Meanwhile, through streets still echoing with trade, Walk grave and thoughtful men, Whose hands may one day wield the patriot's blade As lightly as the pen.
  • Sleep sweetly in your humble graves, Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause; Though yet no marble column craves The pilgrim here to pause. Stoop, angels, hither from the skies! There is no holier spot of ground Than where defeated valor lies, By mourning beauty crowned!
