21 July 1861
First Battle of Bull Run
CORINTH. 17
18 COKINTH.
And every feature marred by dreary lines
Traced by the hand of War. Majestic still
She riseth proudly from the Northman's blow
Strengthened and calm. The thrilling victory-cry
Raised at Manassas sends its bugle-call
To the far western wilds, and, hark! is heard
A glad response from Shiloh.
RICHMOND: HER GLORY AND HER GRAVES.
Falling ther swords upon.
Strewn o'er Manassas' crimson field.
Where hearts dripped gore, but would not yield,
BURIAL OF LIEUT. WM. L. GOGGIN, JR.

On the Burial, in Virginia, of a young Mississippi Volunteer,* who fought
in the Battle of Manassas.PAIR child of Mississippi ! peaceful be thy silent rest,
On the green and quiet pillow, of Virginia's gen-

She will guard thy sleej)ing ashes, she will love thy
faded smile,
She will chant the solemn requiem of her brave, young
Soldier-child.
