Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there they found —
Freedom to whorship God.

Additional quotes by Felicia Hemans

I had a hat. It was not all a hat,—
Part of the brim was gone:
Yet still I wore it on.

They grew in beauty side by side,
They filled one home with glee:
Their graves are severed far and wide
By mount and stream and sea.

Alas for love, if thou wert all,
And naught beyond, O Earth!

Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod; They have left unstained what there they found — Freedom to whorship God. - Felicia Hemans
