O cry! O cry!
Gather roses in white
Pray for the living
And the ones who have died.
O weep! O weep!
'Tis an eternal sleep
Remember the souls
Who have taken the leap.
O mourn! O mourn!
Sound the trumpets, the horns!
Blesséd are those
Whose hearts are forlorn.
O pray! O pray!
On this sick, tragic day
Light candles for all
Soldiers lost in the fray.
O end, sweet end...
Gather roses in red
Lest we forget-
God's children lay dead.
