BEAUREGARD.
Let the trumpet shout once more,
Beauregard!
Let the battle thunders roar,
Beauregard!
And again by yonder sea,
Let the swords of all the free
Leap forth to the fight with thee,
Beauregard!
Beauregard!
Let the battle thunders roar,
Beauregard!
And again by yonder sea,
Let the swords of all the free
Leap forth to the fight with thee,
Beauregard!
Old Sumter loves the name,
Beauregard!
Grim Moultrie guards thy fame,
Beauregard!
Oh! first in freedom's fight!
Oh! steadfast in the right!
Oh! brave and Christian knight!
Beauregard!
Beauregard!
Grim Moultrie guards thy fame,
Beauregard!

Oh! steadfast in the right!
Oh! brave and Christian knight!
Beauregard!

St. Michael! with his host,
Beauregard!
Encamps by yonder coast,
Beauregard!
And the Demon's might shall quail,
And the Dragon's terrors fail,
Were he triply clad in mail,
Beauregard!

Encamps by yonder coast,
Beauregard!
And the Demon's might shall quail,
And the Dragon's terrors fail,
Were he triply clad in mail,
Beauregard!
Not a leaf shall fall away,
Beauregard!
From the laurels won to-day,
Beauregard!
While the ocean breezes blow,
While the billows lapse and flow
O'er the Northmen's bones below,
Beauregard!

While the billows lapse and flow
O'er the Northmen's bones below,
Beauregard!
Let the trumpet shout once more,
Beauregard!
Let the battle-thunders roar,
Beauregard!
From the center to the shore,
From the sea to the land's core
Thrills the echo evermore,
Beauregard!
Beauregard!
Let the battle-thunders roar,
Beauregard!
From the center to the shore,
From the sea to the land's core
Thrills the echo evermore,
Beauregard!
