Here you will find the Poem James Longstreet of poet Anonymous Americas
With muffled drums and the flag that was furled With the cause that was lost, when the last smoke curled From the last old gun, at the last brave stand- His soul marched on with the old command; And the step was slow, as they bore away, To await the eternal muster day, Their old-time comrade, lost awhile, But loved long since for the brave old smile That cleared the way when he only knew His ways were Gray and their ways were Blue; And if for a time, he walked alone, He's all right now, for 'Longstreet's home:' Back to his old command he's gone, With Lee and Jackson looking on, And cheering him back to the ranks again With the Blue and the Gray all melted in.
