Rh Bright honor be theirs who for honor were fearless,
 * Who charged for their flag to the grim cannon's mouth;

And honor to them who were true, though not tearless,—
 * Who bravely that day kept the cause of the South.

The quarrel is done—God avert such another;
 * The lesson it brought we should evermore heed:

Who loveth the Flag is a man and a brother,
 * No matter what birth or what race or what creed.
