For its sweet-scented breath and its Amer

Are reminders of the glorious fighting

The rose in all its b. ,uty. is Americas best
AS it turns ones thoughts to home and to

For 1t reminds us of our mothers, of our

And for those we love so well is why we

And as we go marching forth in this grea,

Democracy is sure to conquer o er "Prussian

And as an emblem of Purity. is the pure
white in the rose.
So like the white in our flag, which the
spirit of the nation shows:
For we have proven this purity thru the

By challenging the intruder of Freedom

But still we will lever forget, as we ira.

The thoughts of our beloved ones who have

For some of us have wives and sweethearts

But We are all knowing that later upor

Each one will find future solace. which
we'll all do our duty to earn:
