Gilmore

Famous quotes containing the word gilmore:

    The Tory camp is now in sight,
    And there he cowers within his den;
    He hears our shouts, he dreads the fight,
    He fears, and flies from Marion’s men.
    —William Gilmore Simms (1806–1872)

    He leadeth me O blessed thought,
    O words with heavenly comfort fraught,
    Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
    Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
    —Joseph Henry Gilmore (1834–1918)

    We follow where the Swamp Fox guides,
    His friends and merry men are we;
    And when the troop of Tarleton rides,
    We burrow in the cypress tree.
    The turfy hammock is our bed,
    Our home is in the red deer’s den,
    Our roof, the tree-top overhead,
    For we are wild and hunted men.
    —William Gilmore Simms (1806–1872)
