The great Confederate General from the American Civil War, known as "The Stonewall of the West" Died for the Lost Cause at the Battle of Franklin in 1864.
"Fare thee well departed chieftain,
Erin's land send forth a wail,
And oh! my country sad laments thee,
Passed so soon over death's dark vale.
Blow, ye breezes softly o'er him,
Fan his brow with ye gentle breath,
Disturb ye not his gentle slumbers,
Cleburne sleeps the sleep of death.
Rest ye, Cleburne; tears of sadness,
Flow from hearts thou'st nobly won,
Memory ne'er will cease to cherish
deeds of glory thou hast done"
-- Written on the death of General Patrick Cleburne, C.S.A., by Naomi Hays.
