 | War poets of the South and Confederate camp-fire songs. |  |
"We should never forget to teach these songs to
our children. Let them understand, even in song,
our cause. To me the Southern songs of our
great war are the sweetest I ever heard. I learned
to love them when a child, and I will love them
until I die."
—Lucy McRae Walton.
CAMP-FIRE SONGS.
Voice after voice caught up the song,Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong—
Their battle-eve confession.
The Song of the Camp—Bayard Taylor.
