Those spirit flowers

souls
smiling stand
them in
My
martyred land
Are
That
Close
That
And mutely there the long night shadows creep
From quiet hills to mourn for them who sleep
While o’er them through the dusk go silently,
The grieving clouds that slowly drift to sea;
And lately round them moaned the winter wind
Whose voice, lamenting, sounds so coldly kind.
Yet in their faith those waiting hearts abide
The time when turns forever that false tide.
In France they lie
Where lilies bloom
Those flowers fair,
For them made room.
Not vainly placed
The crosses stand—
Within that brave,
And stricken land.
Their honor lives,
love endures,
noble death,
right assures,
For they shall have their heart’s desire
They who, unflinching, braved the fire—
Across the fields their eyes at last shall see
Through clouds and mists the hosts of victorv.
