An ode in honor of Anthony written by Stanton, the three twelve-line stanzas beginning, "My Honored friend, I'll ne'er forget...". The second stanza specifically addresses their fight for woman's suffrage: "We met and loved, ne'er more to part, / Hand clasped in hand, heard bound to hears. / We've traveled West, years together, / Day and night, in stormy weather; / Climbing the rugged Suffrage hill / And bravely facing every ill; / While resting, speaking, everywhere; / Quite often in open air; / From sleighs, ox-carts, and mayhap coaches, / Besieged with beetles, bugs and roaches; / All this for emancipation / Of the brave women of our Nation."
OCLC locates four examples (Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn State, Brown).
