Thread Name: Lyr Req: Florence Nightingale
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Florence Nightingale
The "Happy!" file for her birthday gives a few lines of:
Where she, who stems the wound that bleeds, A heroe's life may save: And heroes saved, exulting, tell How well her voice they knew: How sorrow near it could not dwell, But spread its wings and flew! "Florence Nightingale" By Francis Bennock, Library of Congress, America Singing: Nineteenth-Century Song Sheets (but it seems unlikely this ever went into tradition.)
