Lucretia's Quiet Grace

(Verse 1) Born in Medfield, eighteen twenty-eight Daughter of Alpheus, Elizabeth's trait Losing her father when she was just young Her mother's love kept her spirit unsung (Verse 2) Isaac the blacksmith came into her life Married in Walpole, becoming his wife Four children blessed their home with such light Frank, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Ellen bright (Chorus) Oh, Lucretia, quiet grace Strength written across your face A life of love, both gentle and strong Your story whispers its quiet song (Verse 3) When war called Isaac to Washington's ground She tended the home where her children's love wound Through Westminster's winters and Leominster's days Her kindness would shine through life's winding ways (Chorus) Oh, Lucretia, quiet grace Strength written across your face A life of love, both gentle and strong Your story whispers its quiet song (Bridge) Short of stature but mighty in heart Leaving a thousand dollars when she would part Fifty-six years of devotion complete Her legacy soft, but forever so sweet (Verse 4) Evergreen Cemetery holds her now dear With Isaac and children, her memory clear A woman remembered for love's tender art Small in her frame, but large in her heart (Chorus) Oh, Lucretia, quiet grace Strength written across your face A life of love, both gentle and strong Your story whispers its quiet song (Outro) Her whispers remain... her story lives on
