The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day."

Our Nation is paying its tribute todayUpon the green mounds where its loyal men lay;While statesman, and orator, fondly repeatThe story of those who knew no defeat.They tell of the Union united again,By the triumph of those who died not in vain;Of the [fifty]* states all loyal and free,Of the peace, and the freedom, from sea to sea.

Our Nation is reverently thinking todayOf the loved ones sleeping beneath the cold clay;Of the sacrifice made, and the brave deeds done,To preserve our Union as a glorious one.We ne'er will be able to pay the great costOf the noble, the true, and the brave that we've lost;But over their graves, with tears like the dew,We'll lay our sweet flowers of red, white and blue.

Our Nation is reverently thinking todayOf the men now living who'll soon pass away;Like the grass of the field and the flowers they spreadO'er the graves of their comrades, immortal, dead,Tall monuments stand to their memory dear,But they crumble and fall, like the leaf when sere;Our Nation united, forever will stand,To those who preserved it, a monument grand.Wherever we gather today 'neath "The Stars,"Let's honor the living now wearing the scarsWhich they brought from the fields of battle and strife,While protecting "Our Flag," and our Nation's life.Let the flowers bear tribute in their simple way.And each one remember Memorial Day;Remember the dead, and the living, though few,Who fought 'neath "The Stars," and the red, white and blue.

Let our songs rise sweet and gentlyFor soldiers gone who once were here.Let the music whisper softlyFor this flowering springtime of the year.Those for whom we offer songOn this new Memorial DayOnce were young and laughing, too,Yet now they have fallen away.From the towns and from the farmsLight of heart the soldiers came.Each one wore upon his browA tall yet invisible flame.To the sound of forceful hornsThe soldiers swiftly marched awayThey marched to beating of the drums,And knew they had but to obey.So today let songs be soft and sweet,For this flowering springtime of the year.We sing for those who once were young,And once were happy – and once were here.
