Memorial Day .i I have a lover in the fields of France, Where larks still sing and scarlet poppies wave. There let him lie I ask not his return That my poor grief may tend a lonely grave. There let him lie, among his comrades all, In the world's common sepulchre and shrine; The trysting-place of eVery nation's heart; And let the common sorrow hallow mine. But let me plant beside his resting-place, Where fleur-de-lis and scarlet poppies nod, A bit of beauty from his native land The yellow glory of our golden-rod. There Belgium's bloom and Italy's fragrance blend; There shamrock bubds and purple heather grows; There the fair lillies of the fields of Frnce Grow side by side with England's beauteous rose. There, with the whispering maple and tie pines, With cypress black and fragrant laurel blooms, The evening winds with gentle rapture blend The breath of wattle the southern broom.
