“ Ever pledged for each other, through years that have fled. We have hopes for the living, and tears for the dead. Bless the heroes who suffered, but died not in vain; Keep the flag that we love--without tarnish or stain. Thus uniting with all, shall my song over be Ohio, my home-land, my heart clings to thee! ”

Quotes by Mary Elizabeth Kail
Mary Elizabeth Kail, Crown Our Heroes
“ Crown our heroes, the soldiers, whose grandeur and power Saved our own dear Columbia in war’s troubled hour. When amid the fierce struggle each soul was a host, Who was ready to die lest his country be lost. They are dead! They are dead! ”
Mary Elizabeth Kail, Emancipation Day (1883)
“ Men whose throbbing souls ignited At the watch-fires freedom lighted. Freedom’s altar fires, still burning Flash and sparkle at each turning, As the car of progress moving, Rolls them on to nobler fame. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
