The grass covers all
GRASS
by Carl Sandburg, 1918
PILE the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. |
Shovel them under and let me work-- |
And pile them high at Gettysburg |
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. |
Shovel them under and let me work. |
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: |
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AND NEVER FORGET WHAT WE COMMEMORATE WITH THIS HOLIDAY. DON'T LET THE GRASS COVER OUR MEMORIES.
