WOMEN OF THE REVOLUTION

Read the fresh annals of our land the gathering dust of time
Nor yet has fallen on the scroll to dim the tale sublime;
There woman's glory proudly shines, for willingly she gave Her costliest offerings to uphold the generous and the brave
Who fought her country's battles well; and oft she perilled life,
To save a father, brother, friend, In those dark years of strife.
Whatever strong-armed man hath wrought, whatever he hath won,
That goal hath woman also reached, that action has she done.
