Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner.” Followed by the Epitaph:Gentle stranger, drop a tear, The C.S.A. lies buried here; In youth it lived and prosper'd well, Its body here, its soul in ___ well E'en if I knew I wouldn't tell. Rest C.S.A., from every strife, Your death is better than your life; And this one line shall grace your grave - Your death gave freedom to the slave.
