The Lone Star Camp Song (1861?)
“ As we press those we love in their sweet Summer bowers. One pledge to our loves, when the battle is done, We shall share the broad lands our rifles have won, No tear on the cheek, should we sleep with the dead, There are brave ones to follow who will still go ahead, Who will still go-ahead with the bright lone star, That leads to beauty in peace, or glory in war. ”
