Facile Princeps. I. O Gifted One Of The Sunny South, With Lips So Eloquent, In Whose Great Heart No Malice E'Er Was Found! And Now Thou Art A Messenger Of Peace, By Heaven Sent On Mission Of Fraternity, To Heal The Cankering Wound! Ii. In That Dread Day When Fratricidal Strife Convulsed With Passion--Crimsoned With Its Blood-- No Nobler Son Than Thou Who Staked His Life With Veterans Gray Withstood The Overwhelming Flood! Iii. No Sweeter Tribute Could Be Paid By Mortal Tongue-- No Nobler Sentiment The Human Heart Could Fill-- In Grander Strains No Poet'S Praises E'Er Were Sung Of Private Soldier--Than Thy Words That Burn And Thrill! Iv. No Treasured Wrong Within Thy Noble Soul Has Tainted With Its Slimy Trail Of Hate-- No Broader Love Of Country Could Embrace The Whole, Or Bow More Gracefully To Iron Hand Of Fate! V. Speak On! And Scatter Broadcast Healing Seed That Shall A Harvest Of Good Feeling Yield-- And Peace, No Less Than War, Shall Lend Her Meed And Crown Anew This Hero Of The Bloody Field!
