" "
David is the song upon God's lips, And Our Lady is the goblet that He sips: And 's the breath of His command, But Saint Michael is the sword in God's right hand.

Additional quotes by Joyce Kilmer

When you say of the making of ballads and songs that it is woman's work You forget all the fighting poets that have been in every land.
