In those days
The Bishop-General was joined
One winter night, after The War,
By King Phillip and five hundred Knights
To pay homage to the Star.
Courage was honored among men
In those days.

[Bishop-General Leonidas K. Polk as Christian and soldier is a symbol of bravery and kindness. In the dark days after The War he was honored and remembered among men; and on one Christmas night five hundred horsemen silently rode by the little church where he is buried, saluted, and rode on, knowing that after the dark days, after the blackest to come, there must and would be bright ones. At the head of this silent cavalcade was King Phillip, horse of war, ridden by Nathan Bedford Forrest.]
