| Our dear fore-mothers! who lived and loved in the days when the State was young, | |
| (And many have gone to their last long rest, unhonored, unknown, unsung) | |
| For Woman rose to the needs of the hour when the dear-bought peace was won, | |
| And backed up the man at the plough as well as she’d backed up the man at the gun! |
