Day for Remembering Heroic Dead
But veterans OF three armies I must not
forget We are here today 10 strew memorials
OF fragrant flowers upon our heroes honored
graves. graves that shed a greater lustr-
on our land than the grandeur which was
Greece and the glory which was Rome Our |
heroic dead are sleeping on the hills and
in the wales. and in lonely places throughout
our land. waiting that reveille that calls
no more TO war. but to eternal peace. And ]
the fairest. dsfntiest fingers Cod ever mace
are still weaving chaplets OF cyprus and
and forgetmenots TO auereole
their memory, and to pay the homage OF !
our sorrow and Of our desthless love and
gratitude.

Mercy bends bow. from she clouds to-
day, and gives 10 the desolstion OF our
bloody past beauty born OF heaven: and

While hope devoutly prays for the speedy
coming OF an era Wnen song plrds shall
