The Fields of Cape Aubrey

The Fields of Cape Aubrey was a mourning ballad from the Democratic Republic of Leasath written by Mrs Alexandra Gasparia in memory of the soldiers of Leasath who fell in the Battle of Cape Aubrey of 20 BBY, part of the Aurelian Campaign, of which Mrs A. Gasparia's own husband was one.

In the Battle of Cape Aubrey the Leasath forces captured the Cape Aubrey region of Western Aurelia, pretty much forcing Aurelian forces from Western Aurelia.

The song was included in the Confederate States of Earth songbook titled Love Songs and Ballads of the Confederate States of Earth.

Lyrics
Our church bells are ringing out,

a chorus happy and free,

now our army is pushing south

to win the victory.

But bitter tears are also gushing from the shining eyes of Leasath's women

for many-a-sweetheart now lies sleeping,

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey.

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey,

Where our sweethearts now lie sleeping,

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey.

As we watched them march away,

in our hearts we did pray,

for them we did pray to God 'til the dying of the day,

as we watched them march, their heads held high, our hearts did swell with pride,

now many of those proud sweethearts lie sleeping on the Fields of Cape Aubrey.

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey,

Where our sweethearts now lie sleeping,

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey.

They marched south to win the victory,

and protect our peaceful liberty,

with our proud verdant and crimson banner flying high o'er them,

they were e'er loyal to Mother Leasath, they fought for her with pride,

and now Mother Leasath weeps for her sons who lie on the Fields of Cape Aubrey.

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey,

Where our sweethearts now lie sleeping,

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey.

Amidst the rattling of gunfire, and the loud cannon's roar,

our sweethearts charged the enemy full of zeal,

with our Leasath banners a-dancing, they did win the day,

we shall ne'er forget our sweethearts who lie sleeping on the Fields of Cape Aubrey!

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey,

Where our sweethearts now lie sleeping,

On the Fields of Cape Aubrey.
