Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not— ’Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay, not with the cannon or battle shot, With a sword or nobler pen; Nay, not with eloquent words or thought From mouths of wonderful men! But deep in a welled-up woman’s heart— A woman that would not yield; But bravely, silently bore her part— Lo, there is that battlefield! - No marshaling troop, no bivouac song1, No banner to gleam and wave; But, O! these battles they lasted so long— From babyhood to the grave. Yet faithful, still as a bridge of stars, She fights in her walled-up town— Fights on and on in the endless wars, Then silent, unseen, goes down. 0 ye with banner's and battle-shot, And soldiers to shout and praise, 1 tell you the kingliest victories fought Are fought in these silent ways. 0 spotless woman in a world of shame, With splendid And silent scorn, Go back to God as white as you came— The kingliest warrior born.
