When winter days are over, The snow-drops peeping through, Entangled with the ivy, Revive my thoughts anew. In dreams 1 plant my gaden, With forget-me-nots so blue With pansies, for thoughts, they say Which live and bloom for you. The daffodils awaken The promises are made. But yellow means forsaken, Anil hopes'and joys all fade. The summer roses mingle, So gaily, red and wiute, The reo lor love’s red and white, The red lor love's Ueep passion, The white for pain's aarlc night. The Master wains my garden, And rests beside the cross, He knows our deep heart’s longing. The weary years of loss. Sometime ucross my garden There’s a whisper in the air, “0 cease thy heart's love vigil, Are not other loves as fair'.'” Master, gather a posy, To show him 1 am true, Take rosemary for remembrance, And forget-me-nots of blue. (The above poem was written by an English Lady for the mothers and wives and sisters of those who sleep in die fields of France and Flanders.) This day marks the Nineteenth Anniversary of a day which set the whole world wild with joy. Staid, constitutional people who had never known to show feeling- of any kind become wild, irresponsible boys in their rejoicing- at the end of the greatest carnage the world has ever known. Remember how eagerly you scanned every casulty list, how you hoped and prayed no name of your loved ones or even acquaintances would be listed there. Remember the shock when some one you knew who bad a boy overseas received that fa tal telegram from the War Depart ment stating their boy was killed in action or even worse that fatal word ’Missing” in action would be re ported. When marked “missing" it gen erally meant that that beloved boy bad been blown to bits by an ene- m y shell, that young life so dear to all, that boy who so wanted to live and return to his mother and loved ones, probably had a young wife sweet heart waiting, had become worse than dust, just stinking torn (Turn to Page 8; No. 1) The Butler Herald ^KEEPING EVERLASTINGLY AT IT IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS” Volume 62 BUTLER, Taylor County, GEORGIA, Thursday November 11, 1937 A.
