BYA LADY


Turf of Texas, softly lie thee,


On the gallant soldiers breast


For our Ringgold died to save thee,


Country Of the bright Southwest.


Youthful sister of our Union,


Where SO late thy lonely star


Shone upon the land and river,


Now our banner waves in war.


Where its glorious folds protect thee,


Oh forget not, while thus blest,


That for thee, our best and bravest


Bled, and sleep within thy breast.


When the dove Of Peace returning,


Rests its wing upon thy field.


Point where Ringgold and those heroes


Made their generous hearts thy shield.
NEAR PHLADELPHIA, May 25, 1916.
