Greater love hath no woman than this That she gives her life for her friends!
Farewell brave girl, Your loss is pain
I write this now, to preserve your name
A life cut short by brutal death
A living soul, crushed in the earth
Rachel, I sure call you brave
You gave your life, A home to save
We did not meet, dead friend of mine
Who gave her life in Palestine
What child of yours we’ll never see
Your child unborn for liberty
My tears will go, but not your name
Your courage shone, and so your fame
Farewell now, brave Rachel
Your name will not be forgotten
Rachel Corrie, aged 23, was killed by the driver of an Israeli Army
