to whose minds plunged in sleep
the dawn has not yet appeared

over whom are yet spread the dark clouds of night
may I not call in vain and poorly
may they hear the song of the rosy dawn

poured abroad widely be the drum
the divine flowers of dawn blossom forth
the war flowers of the cause of all


glittering with dew they scatter abroad their fragrance
bring them here

that they be not hidden
nor bloom in vain
that they may rejoice

you our friends
and not in vain shall be the flowers
and not in vain shall be the flowers

the living, coloured, brilliant
War flowers!!!
