MOTHER OF HEROES (SARAH BLAKE SHAW), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Mother of heroes, she, - of them who gave
Last Line: And when I think on music -- lo, her face!
Subject(s): Music & Musicians


MOTHER of heroes, she, -- of them who gave
Their lives to lift the lowly, free the slave.
Her, through long years, two master passions bound:
Love of our free land; and of all sweet sound.
'T was praising her to praise this land of grace;
And when I think on music -- lo, her face!
