This week’s Buds and
Blossoms poem, from the pen
of R. O. Laughlln, was
written after a visit to the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
In Arlington National Cemetery:
I do not understand
They bring so many, many
flowers to me-
Rainbows of roses, wreaths
from every land;
And hosts of solemn
strangers come to see
My tomb here on these quiet,
wooded heights.
My tomb here seems to be
One of the sights.
The low-voiced men, who speak
Of me quite fondly, call me
“The Unknown’’;
But now and then at dusk.
Madonna-meek,
Bent, mournful mothers come
to me alone
And whisper down—the flowers
and grasses through-
Such names as “Jim’’ and
“John’’
I wish they knew.
And once, my sweetheart came.
She did not--nay, of course
she could not—know.
But thought of me and crooned
to me the name
She called me by—how many
years ago?
A very precious name. Her
eyes were wet.
