The Courage That My Mother Had


by Edna St. Vincent Millay.


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.
