WE KEEP MEMORIAL DAY
When the May has culled her flowers
for the summer waiting long,
And The breath of early roses wOOs
the hedges into song,
Comes the throb of martial music and
the banners in the street
4 nd the marching Of the millions
bearing garlands fair and sweet;
lis the sabbath of the nation, It's
the floral feast OF May.
In remembrance of our heroes
We keep Memorial Day.
They are sleeping in the valleys, they
are sleeping meath the sea,
They are sleeping by the thousands
till the royal reveille:
Let us know them, let us name them,
let us honor one and all,
For they loved us and they saved rs
springing at the bugle call:
Let us sound the song and cymba e,
wreathe tive immortel!es and bay
In the favor of thanksgiving q
We keep Memorial Day.
Kate BrOwnlee Sherwood.
