Her life was bound to crutches: pale and bent, / But smiling ever, she would go and come: / For of her soul GOD made an instrument / Of strength and comfort to an humble home.
Better a life of toil and slow disease / That LOVE companions through the patient years, / Than one whose heritage is loveless ease, / That never knows the blessedness of tears.
