SONG by EDWARD JOSEPH HARRINGTON O'BRIEN

First Line: FLESH UNTO FLOWERS
Last Line: TO TURN TO MY SIDE.
Subject(s): WOMEN AND WAR; WORLD WAR I; FIRST WORLD WAR;
Flesh unto flowers,
And flame unto wind,
The cleansing of showers
Shall come to thee blind.

In the night of thy sleeping
The sound of the tide
Shall waken thee weeping
To turn to my side.
