MARY ASHLEY TOWNSEND QUOTES

What mother, with long-watching eyes
And white lips cold and dumb,
Waits with appalling patience for
Her darling boy to come?
Her boy! whose mountain grave swells up
But one of many a scar
Cut on the face of our fair land
By gory-handed war.

MARY ASHLEY TOWNSEND, A Georgia Volunteer
