Memorial Day<\/h1>\n

by Joyce Kilmer<\/p>\n

“Dulce et decorum est”<\/p>\n

The bugle echoes shrill and sweet,
\nBut not of war it sings to-day.
\nThe road is rhythmic with the feet
\nOf men-at-arms who come to pray.<\/p>\n

The roses blossom white and red
\nOn tombs where weary soldiers lie;
\nFlags wave above the honored dead
\nAnd martial music cleaves the sky.<\/p>\n

Above their wreath-strewn graves we kneel,
\nThey kept the faith and fought the fight.
\nThrough flying lead and crimson steel
\nThey plunged for Freedom and the Right.<\/p>\n

May we, their grateful children, learn
\nTheir strength, who lie beneath this sod,
\nWho went through fire and death to earn
\nAt last the accolade of God.<\/p>\n

In shining rank on rank arrayed
\nThey march, the legions of the Lord;
\nHe is their Captain unafraid,
\nThe Prince of Peace . . . Who brought a sword.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
