Maxioms by Amelia Josephine Burr
 You led our sons across the haunted flood,
 Into the Canaan of their high desire--
  No milk read more 
 You led our sons across the haunted flood,
 Into the Canaan of their high desire--
  No milk and honey there, but tears and blood
   Flowed where the hosts of evil trod in fire,
    And left a worse than desert where they passed.
