In 1843 she married a hero of the Greek revolution, physician Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe who founded the Perkins Institute for the Blind. The couple made their home in South Boston and had six children. Five of them were active in the Free Soil Party. Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic", set to William Steffe's already-existing music, was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862 and quickly became one of the most popular songs for the Union during the American Civil War. |

Poem For all that you have given me, I can return but love. For you Bound up the wounds I did not see And gave me hopes and passions new. I can return but love for you, Whose unmoved faith my heart did move, And gave me hopes and passions new, And loved me till I turned to love. Whose unmoved faith did my heart move? The mother of my heart, not blood, Who loved me till I turned to love. And I became the soul I would. The mother of my heart, not blood, Bound up the wounds I did not see. And I became the soul I would For all that you have given me. |
