Anne Lynch Botta

“ The under-tone of human love and woe,
That touched the trembling chords of sympathy,
And drew me near to thy great woman’s heart.
Thou crownéd queen of Song! from this free land
That owns allegiance only unto God
And Genius, his anointed, o’er the sea
I send my vows of homage, and my heart
Sends love and blessings unto thee and thine. ”
