The Sabre Mrs, J. M. Day Mrs. G. L. BurtTON House Mother Housekeeper The Sword of Robert E. Lee Forth from its scabbard, bare and bright, Out of its scabbard, never hand Flashed the sword of Lee. Waved sword from stain as free, Far in the front of the deadly fight, Nor purer sword led braver band, High o’er the brave in the cause of Right Nor braver band bled for brighter land, Its stainless sheen, like a beacon light, Nor brighter land had a cause so grand, Led us to Victory. Nor cause a chief like Lee. Forth from its scabbard all in vain Bright flashed the sword of Lee; ’Tis shrouded now in its sheath again, It sleeps the sleep of our noble slain, Proudly and peacefully. —Father Ryan.
