ON PRESENTATION OF A LOVING CUP TO THE FORMER REGENT, MRS. ASHBURNER, by                    
First Line: Sister, by many acts endeared
Last Line: Our hearts as theirs, forever bind.
Subject(s): Kindness; Love


Sister, by many acts endeared,
As Daughters of a Cause revered
Which held our sires in strongest band—
This cup we offer to your hand.
Sweeter than garlands on its rim,
Glowing like wine within its brim,
The sentiments from every soul
Shall make of it a flowing bowl.
Flowing and full it comes to you,
Flowing with love which years renew,
Love of the Cause which made sublime
The conflicts of our fathers' time;
And may this Cause of human kind
Our hearts as theirs, forever bind.
