But God is the giver of victory and defeat, And Lee, on earth, vicegerent under the Lord. Sometimes he differs about the mortal plans But once the order is given, it is obeyed. We know what he thought about God. One would like to know What he thought of the two together, if he so mingled them. He said two things about Lee it is well to recall. When he first beheld the man that he served so well, “I have never seen such a fine-looking human creature.” Then, afterwards, at the height of his own fame, The skilled man talking of skill, and something more. “General Lee is a phenomenon, He is the only man I would follow blindfold.” Think of those two remarks and the man who made them When you picture Lee as the rigid image in marble. No man ever knew his own skill better than Jackson Or was more ready to shatter an empty fame. He passes now in his dusty uniform. The Bible jostles a book of Napoleon’s Maxims And a magic lemon deep in his saddlebags.
