MEMOIAL DAY
by Edgar Guest
The finest tribute we can pay
Unto our hero dead today,
Is not a rose wreath, white and
red,
In memory of the blood they
shed;
It is to stand beside each
mound,
Each couch Of consecrated
ground,
And pledge ourselves as war
riors true
Unto the work they died to do.
Our hearts must be the roses
red
We place above OUT hero dead;
Today beside their graves we
must
Renew allegiance to their trust:
Must bare our heads and humb-
We hold the Flag as dear as
they
And stand, as once they stood,
to die
To keep the Stars and Stripes
on high.
