Légende

'Florence Nightingale', (sheet music), 1856. Sheet music for a song about Florence Nightingale, English social reformer and founder of modern nursing who cared for soldiers wounded in the Crimean War. Poetry by Francis Bennoch, music by J. L. Hatton. 'Neglected, dying in despair, They lay till woman came, To soothe them with her gentle care. And feed life's flickering flame. When wounded sore, on fever's rack. Or cast away as slain, She call'd their flutt'ring spirits back, And gave them strength again. They might not see the smiling face, Which suff'ring could dispel, But they could turn and kiss the place On which her shadow fell'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
