Answer points
the courage that my mother had

went with her, and is with her still:

rock from new england quarried;

now granite in a granite hill.

the golden brooch my mother wore

she left behind for me to wear;

i have no thing i treasure more:

yet, it is something i could spare.

oh, if instead she'd left to me

the thing she took into the grave! -

that courage like a rock, which she

has no more need of, and i have.
