REMEMBER
BY ANNIE Z. MICHENER.

Gather flowers the fairest
Moistened with heavens dew;
Scatter in rich profusion
over the gray and the blue;
Long they've rested in silence
Under the grass-grown sod,
Surrendered for their country,
Lives given back to God.
Let the veterans carry
The Stars and Stripes and drum
Amid the martial music,
Salute with voice Of gun.
Long the strife has been ended,
Victory is complete;
Tramp, tramp, the boys are march
ing"
Listen! The tread of feet.
Unfurl the flag of Freedom
In glowing tribute dear.
Among the unnamed heroes,
Fear not to drop tear;
Some mothers son lies resting
In every grave you dress
Place there the fragrant flowers,
Emblem of caress.
Think of the willing thousands
Who heard their country's call,
Amidst the din of battle
Some missed the cannOn's ball;
Scatter flowers the fairest
Over the Gray and the Blue;
Remember how they suffered.
And died-tor me, for you.
