Ally. FLOWERS FOR THE FALLEN
Roses for their lovers, Roses for their wives Roses red and yellow To sweeten loving lives. But who will wear the roses When love and life are flown, When lovers lie in foreign fields Under foreign stone?
Pick - Poppies for a soldier, dear Will you buy a bloom? The scarlet of these poppies Won't be fading soon. Forget-me-not is pretty Like gentle summer skies Pick a little posy "Forget-me-not?" it sighs.
But who will not forget them When memories are flown When lovers lie in foreign fields And hearts are turned to stone? So - Poppies for a soldier, dear Will you buy a bloom? The scarlet of these poppies Won't be fading soon. Pansies for a soldier's girl The purple of heartsease The glowing gentle faces Swaying in the breeze
But who will pick the pansies When the girls are left alone When lovers lie in foreign fields And hearts are turned to stone? So - Poppies for a soldier, dear Will you buy a bloom? The scarlet of these poppies Won't be fading soon. And take a blood-red poppy And pin it to your breast Remembering the fallen And wish them gentle rest. Flowers for the fallen And those they left at home Wear a blood-red poppy Remembrance of our own. http://minister.dva.gov.au/media/media/n...
