FLOWERS FOR THE BRAVE.

decoration Day lsSil
Here bring your purple and gold,
Glory OF color and scent!
Scarlet of tulips bold,
Buds blue as the flrmamcnt.
flushed is the sound of the fife
And the bugle piping clear:
The vivid and delicate life
In the soul of the youthful year
We bring to the quiet dead,
With Il gentle and tempered grief:
O'cr the mounds so mute We shed
The beauty OF blossom and leaf.
The flashing swords that were drawn,
No rust shall their fame destroy!
Boughs rosy as riffs of dawn,
Like the blush on the cheek of iov,
Rich fires Of the gardens and mcads,
We kindle these hearts above!
What splcndor shall match their deeds
What sweetness can ma III our love
