The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-11-09
ARMISTICE DAY, 1915.


Sadly and reverently bow your head.
Tender thoughts and an earnest prayer
For our hero sons who are lying dead.
Only in honor and love should we
Remember the brave who have now gone
west,
Who gave their lives in the great World war
Silently lying in peaceful rest.
We should not grieve: for their slumbers deep
Not even thunders OF war could break
God kneweth we'll that on Freedoms shrine
We gave our best for humanity's sake.
And there are those who returned to us
Our of the depths of their woe and pain:
Can We forget-have our hearts grown cold =
What they endured for the worlds great
Tender memories, and honor for all
Our wonderful heroes who crossed the sea
To fight, and die, in foreign land
That the world from a tyrant's rule be free.
On this day only three years ago,
Proudly joyous of heart were we
When knew wars din and noise had ceased
And Right had gained victory.
Yet mingled with joy was a grief sincere
For those who had braved the battles
chance,
Who had fallen, to sleep meath the crosses
white
Beyond the ocean, in far-on France
Plant beautiful trees, and their memory keep
Sacred and tender in coming years
May the dews of heaven softly fall
Pom them as a mothers silent tears.
