A BALLAD OF 'SIXTY-THREE
Oh, Greencastle streets were a stream of steel / With the slanted muskets the soldiers bore, / And the scared earth muttered and shook to feel / The tramp and the rumble of Longstreet's Corps; / The bands were blaring "The Bonny Blue Flag," / And the banners borne were a motley many; / And watching the gray column wind and drag / Was a slip of a girl -- we'll call her Jenny.
