Flowers For Brave Soldiers
by Helen Leah ReedFlowers for brave soldiers,
Flowers for those who gave us
A Country undivided.
Flowers for the dead!
With flags we are marking
Their last earth-dwelling.
Our hearts are bending
In gratitude,
While we are praying
That this our Nation
Pass safe through peril,
Through deadly war.
Flowers for brave soldiers -
Flowers for those who loved us,
Flowers to their memory,
This fair spring day!
