The Daughters
Of The Confederacy
by Ina M. Porter
Daughters are we of a nation grand,
Daughters of knights who wore the gray,
Daughters of heroines tried and true,
Daughters who failed not in that day;
Women who fought as women fight,
Maidens brave in their own sweet way;
True to the trust they placed in us,
True to the men who wore the gray.
Daughters are we of noblemen,
The peers of the bravest in all the world;
And the dearest land is the land we love,
And the fairest flag is the flag that's furled.
