Theodosia garrison biography: Born: January 1, , Newark, New

At the cost of a dulled sword a people may be sold; For lack of warmth a nation may perish in the cold, And unto us the reckoning and price thereof be told. Folly and Complacency—on our heads be the sin If once our hands should slacken, our voices bid you in. War laid bugle to his lips, blew one blast—and then The seas answered him with ships, the earth with men.

Straight, Death caught his sickle up, called his reapers grim, Famine with his empty cup came after him. Where the curved, black sickles sweep, where pale Famine clings, Where gaunt women watch and weep, come these of wings. When the red wrath perisheth, when the dulled swords fail, These three who have walked with Death—these shall prevail. Wartime activities also profoundly transformed the city.

Theodosia Garrison published this poem in the February Good Housekeeping magazine. Cities of the lordly names: Sybaris, Damascus; Doubtless, too, their little lads Dreaming as we dreamed, Visioned older cities still, Far as ever theirs from us, Cities that their Grandsires built With words that glowed and gleamed. Babylon and Nineveh, Troy Town and Rome, Little did we think one day, Until we wandered far, How dearer and more dreamed of The city of our home,— The commonplace, gray city Where yet our treasures are.
