Do It with Flowers

I'm sick of cannon-cracker jazz
And smoke and noisy stuff;
OF anything that smacks Of war
i The world has had enough.
Let's go on Independence Day
And gather larkspur blue,
Late roses red and lilies white,
And daisies in the dew.
Around the flagstaff let US Irvine
The laurefs living green,
And hang the porch with garlands gay
With starry flags between.
And ill the car with blossoms bright
To cast i'll fragrant showers
: At every body that we meet
/ Let's celebrate with flowers.
