Saddest day of my life -- There my memories begin -- Put away the grog -- Ever ready to render my best service -- Located in a very retired place -- It was what I wished -- It may be that I will return with a reputation -- At present all in uncertainty -- Cloud which had collected -- I have a field of usefulness -- Darkness hour -- Our cause is just and holy -- Noblest cause in which man can be engaged -- Life men above all personal considerations -- We are fighting for existence -- Issue is very painful for me to meet -- I have not sunk under my trials -- These days of our hard fortune -- Duty of doing justice of the cause -- There is much preparation -- Esto perpetua.
