THE HEART-CRY by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON

First Line: SHE TURNED THE PAGE OF WOUNDS AND DEATH
Last Line: RESTS TO FACE LIFE AS FEARLESSLY.
Subject(s): GRIEF; WOMEN & WAR; WORLD WAR I - CASUALTIES; SORROW; SADNESS;
SHE turned the page of wounds and death
With trembling fingers. In a breath
The gladness of her life became
Naught but a memory and a name.

@3Farewell! Farewell! I might not share
The perils it was yours to dare.
Dauntless you fronted death: for me
Rests to face life as fearlessly.@1
