AS time goes by Memorial Day
Just seems more sacred, seem sto say
They're swiftly passing fast away
Their vacant places surely say
Another wreathe, another flag
Just strew the roses on their graves
OF old Confederate soldiers gone
Have passed the Golden Gate beyond
So once a year commands respect
To pay our homage and reflect
For on this day our thoughts have play
For one by one have passed the Grey
Wilson.
