Song of a fair May morning,
When the sky is bluer than blue
And the white clouds floating across it
Seem almost too white to be true,
When the air is sweet with clover,
And hums with the busy bee,
And across the gray salt marshes,
The guns thunder out to the sea,
And the dead lie in rows,
With their face to the foes,
Only a mile from me.
