On Memorial Day.
AYAKM grow the stars with summer,
Hilltops are covered with bloom,
Voice of the song bird comet h
Out of the thicket's gloom;
Move we in all this glory
Gently with bended head,
Memories live before uh
This the day of the dead,
Memorial day.
By the low mound in the graveyard
Walk we with reverent tread,
Where a brave soldier reposes
Heedless of tears we shed:
After tht noise of battle,
Blood, and the flash of spears,
Here is the quiet of rest-time
In this soft bed of years
Memorial Day.
Coyer them over with fragrance
Of the sweet hearted flowers,
Laden with I be dews of homage
And loving thoughts of ours;
Heroes! God bless them forever,
Give them eternal peace
While from their life of hardships
We joy in their glad release,
Memorial day. .
Onward we march to the future
Braver for those brave men
Who fought and fell for freedom,
That peace might be ruler again;
The flag that was blood-stained is
honored,
The rifle now rusts away,
But in the midst of these blessings
Let us not forg at to pray
Memorial day.
