about

It was said that Elizabeh Van Lew had so alienated Richmond society that the only attendees at her funeral in 1900 were African-Americans—former slaves and servants.

lyrics

Here she lies at last, finally at peace;
All her works of charity will cease.
A day and night have passed;
A nation does not mourn;
All the same, a nation has been shorn.

Let her spirit fly away, let her spirit soar.

Nobody here but us African-Americans—
Is this any way to lay a hero down; is it any way?

The lady looks so small, she looks so unconcerned;
In her heart a fire always burned.
Deep within the earth, she’ll sleep forever now;
We above must carry on somehow.

Let her spirit fly away, let her spirit soar.

Nobody here but us African-Americans—
Is this any way to lay a hero down; is it any way?
