They are not dead! They are not dead! Those soldiers true and brave; The heroes who suffered, fought and bled, Our country dear to save. Their names are in the Book of Life Their battles are all over; All their heart-burnings, pains and strifes Have ceased forevermore. They are all living now above, Tho' their ashes here may be; And inspire us still with fervent love For home and liberty. They are all living, and they see, (Tho' invisible are they) Our country prosperous and free, On thids Memorial Day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SWEENEY AMONG THE NIGHTINGALES by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT THE INDIAN UPON GOD by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS WAYCONNELL TOWER by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM OF SIR PHILIP SIDNEY by JOHN BEAUMONT SHE WAS A BEAUTY by HENRY CUYLER BUNNER THE WINGED MARINERS by ADA CAMBRIDGE |
