Explore "Memorial Day" by Annie Wittenmyer on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Bow low, fair clouds, and kiss the earth, / Where Human Freedom had her birth, / Where heroes struggled in the fight, / And patriots died for human right. / Bow low, and rainbow glories shed / Above a nation's gallant dead; / Then bear the news o'er land and sea, / Earth's fettered millions may be free.
Fly low, bright birds with painted wings, / And join the song a nation sings, / A glad, and sacred jubilee, / For God has set his people free. / Sing of the flag with starry field, / Sing of the eagle and the shield, / Sing of the victories of Peace, / Sing of the time when wars shall cease.
