The death of General Stonewall Jackson struck a terrible blow. 
The South was left in mourning for a man they respected so. 

His many victories brought much admiration. 
To him, it came easy, where to place the levitation. 

May 2, 1863, returning from an attack 
The friendly fire turned a bright star black

It left a deep hole in the hearts of those that loved him best. 
For the South, there seemed to be no needed rest. 

The war seemed to turn, the morale of the troops had gone. 
The shining light had been snuffed out just before dawn. 

General Robert E Lee stated with much might. 
Stonewall has lost his left arm, I have lost my right.
