Mary Bassett Hussey, Pieces People Ask For (1909)
“ Love of her heart for her soldier expressing, "Love that is stronger than death," through the years. Soon in the land of unfading beauty, He, faithful knight of valor and truth, She, living martyr to country and duty, Shall find the sweetness and love of their youth. Honor the dead with the richest oblation,— Cover their graves with laurel and palm! Honor the living for life's consecration,— Give to their pierced hearts love's healing balm. ”
