The Gust whose long slumber Loves cry can

FIJI the breath Of the world with the fragrance

As We garland their graves for sweet Memo

With trust in the Master, who tenderly led
The way through the darkness and storm OF
the strife,
Who took the brave souls to His Heaven, and
said;
By the blood OF these martyrs the Nation
hath life.
Oh. never the angels that swept from the skies,
Above the sirev:a field a: the closing OF day,
Cntangled a flag to behold its device,
Or paused to discover the blue from the
gray.
o sangune South roses as red as their blood,
o Northern bloom, white as their purpose
was true,
Wherever We smile in the sunlight OF God,
In the soft air OF peace and the rain and the
dew,
Ye are tribute to them and the glory they won,
And little can story or song give or take;
De the fondcst word said and the fairest deed
done
As we garland their graves for sweet Mem
