I found in some old things my Grandmother has in a box a book called WAR SONGS AND POEMS OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY 1861-1865 BY AN EX CONFEDERATE. BY H. M Wharton, D.D. Private in Generals Lee's Army, Author of "A Picnic in Palestine" "A Month with Moody," " Pulpit, Pew and Platform, " GOSPEL TALKS" "MOTHER , HOME AND JESUS, ETC. On Page 258 I find your song with the following story. DEAR MOTHER I'VE COME HOME TO DIE BY E. BOWERS. "The following beautiful lines are bases upon facts, and will call forth the sympathy of every mother's heart. Many a boy wounded, or sick and changed in health, came home to die and any alas, were not permitted to look into the faces of their loved ones again, I attended the funeral of a young fellow, whose last words were:" Give my love to mother and tell her I will meet her in Heaven." As the years wear on the reunions are occurring in a better land , and many a boy has been restored to the circle which was broken by the rude red hand of war." Dear Mother , I remember well The parting kiss you gave me, When merry rang the village bell---- My heart was full of joy and glee: I did not drean that one short year Would crush the hopes that soared so high! Oh, mother dear, draw near to me: Dear mother, I've come home to die. Chorus Call sister, brother , to my side, And take you soldier's last good-by, Oh, Mother dear, draw near to Me! Dear mother, I've come home to die, Hark! mother, 'tis the village bell; I can no longer with thee stay: My country calls, to arms! to arms! The foe advances in fierce array! The vision's past--I feel that now For the country I can only sigh. Oh, mother dear, draw near to me! Dear mother! I've come home to die. Dear mother, sister, brother, all, One parting kiss--to all good-by; Weep not, but clasp your hand in mine, And let me like a soldier die! I've met the foe upon the field, Where hosts contending scorned to fly; I fought for right--God bless you all!-- Dear Mother, I've come home to die. The book contains over 400 pages of Songs stories and Pictures of Officers in the War. Hope this has been a help to you all.
