The Heroine of the WarTo Miss Anna Etheridge
from Woman of the War P.517
Hail, heroine of the battle-field!
Sweet angel of a zeal divine!
Hail, Maiden, whose device and shield.
Sculptured in tears and prayers, will shine,
On Love's eternal column reared
In memory of the martyred dead,
To be, through coming time, revered,
And sacred to the pilgrim's tread!
Hail, dauntless maid! Whose shadowy form,
Borne like a sunbeam on the air.
Swept by amid the battle-storm,
Cheering the helpless sufferes there,
Amid the cannon's smoke and flame,
The earthquake roar of shot and shell,
Winning, by deeds of love, a name
Immortal as the brave who fell.
Hail, angel! who diviner spell
Charmed dying heroes with her prayer,
Stanching dying heroes with a prayer,
Of death, destruction, and despair.
Thy name my memory shall be wreathed
Round many desolate hearts in prayer;
By orphan lips it shall be breathed,
And float in songs upon the air.
And History's pages shall embalm
The heroine's deed in lines of fire;
Her life shall prove a hallowed charm,
And every loyal heart inspire.
Press on, press on! in glory move!
Unfading laurels shall be thine
To gem the victor-crown of Love,
And sparkle in the realms divine!
