Celebrating Memorial Day!
A day to remember.
With slow and reverend tread,
I bring the roses red
To deck the soldier's bed
Emblem of blood they shed,
For this our native land.
And I, white daisies bring
A simple offering,
Emblems of holy peace.
Oh, may its reign ne'er cease
In this our happy land...
~William Woodman, "Emblems of Decoration Day," 1892
