1 Dear Friend when hence you go
To breast the storm of war
Our hearts shall feel that woe
And leap in the painful throe
Of friends when first they know
They must be parted far
2 Well might we weep if all
Was not periled now
It is our countrys Call.
Made in her fearful thrall
She wants she asks you all
Come to her rescue now
3 So uphold the flag of Stars
The glorious ensighn bright
Tear down the accursed "Bars"
———————————————————
2
Invoke the fiery Mars
Swear by your Fathers scars
The end shall be the Right
4 Cease not till on the land
That God has given us
Exists no traitor band
That with poluteing hand
Would seek that flag to brand
As vile as infamous
5 [?], thy countrys glory
Still beams behind the cloud,
It shall pass, the story
Of her future Glory
Her fields of honor gory
Her calendar shall crowd
———————————————————

6 Go and God preserve thee
From death in camp or field
Go the Right shall serve thee
Go win the win the victory
For Home God Liberty
Be thou our liveing Shield.
Lewis A Townsend
The above lines were written on the occasion of the departure of a very near friend for the field of danger May the blessing of Almighty God rest upon him, and grant to him a safe return to the embrace of those who love him so well
