Mumford, the Martyr of New Orleans
Ina M. Porter
Where murdered Mumford lies,
Bewailed in bitter sighs,
Low-bowed beneath the flag he loved,
Gendron Palmer, of the Holcombe Legion
Ina M. Porter
He sleeps upon Virginia’s strand,
While comrades of the Legion stand
With arms reversed–a mournful band–
Pro Memoria – Air–There is rest for the weary
Ina M. Porter
Lo! the Southland Queen, emerging
From her sad and wintry gloom,
Robes her torn and bleeding bosom
