Explore "Memorial Day-1892" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The quiet graves of our country's braves / Through thirty Junes and Decembers / Have solemnly lain under sun and rain, / And yet the Nation remembers.
The marching of feet and the flags on the street / Told once again this morning, / In the voice of the drum how the day had come / For those lowly beds' adorning.
