MEMORY, AND THE SERVICE
CROSS.
Close the door, sye, close It softly—
Memory dwells with us today.
There's a wee lad, with his brothers
Coming sweetly here to play.
It is yesterday, 1 tell you
None there be who dare to scorn,
It Is yesterday—the children
Romping, playing, ln the morn.
Draw the curtains draw them tightly,
Bee that nothing drives away '
From our minds and hearts, the vision
Of the children still at play.
Let them stay a little longer,
For the time comes all too soon,
When they needs must face life's
battles,
Bven yesterday, at noon.
Fold the shutters, fold them gently,
For the day ls nearly done.
We would whisper low to Memory
Of the one who's bravely gone.
Heartaches come, and cruel anguish,
Burning teardrops dim our sight.
Orlm war's toll Is youth, and loved
ones—
still, It's yesterday—and night.
Open wide the doors and windows;
Memory walks abroad today.
Seeking for the glad tomorrow
That ls just around the way.
Ah, there's anguish In awakening
After war's dark souless night.
There are times when bitter sorrow
Cruelly shuts out the light.
Let each tiny ray of sunshine
Find its way within the room;
Let the brightest burst of glory
Penetrate the pall of gloom.
Hopefully we struggle onward .,-.,.
Aa the teardrops back sre toss-
In our hearts today, there's meiu'ry,
In our hands—his service cross.
