Fourth from it's scabbard, pure and bright
Flash the sword of Lee!
Far in the front of deadly fight,
High o'er the brave in the cause of right,
It's stainless sheen, like a beacon bright,
Led us to victory.
Out of it's scabbard, where full long,
It slumbered peacefully,
Roused from it's rest by the battle's song,
Guarding the right, avenging the strong,
Guarding the right, avenging the wrong,
Gleamed the sword of Lee.
Forth from it's scabbard all in vain
Bright flashed the sword of Lee;
"Tis shrouded now in it's sheath again,
It's sleeps the sleep of our noble slain,
Defeated, yet without a stain,
Proudly and peacefully.
