Memorial

Below is the beautiful Saint Peter and Saint Paul Cemetery near Philadelphia, where Larry Auster is buried. I took the picture in August 2013, and posted it, and several others I took, at my post Like as a Hart and a Cacophony of Cicadas.

I labeled the image: American Flags, Waving in the Veterans Section

American Flags

And I posted a Yeats poem, but had some words I thought I could substitute:

I must be gone: there is a grave
Where daffodil and lily wave,
And I would please the hapless faun,
Buried under the sleepy ground,
With mirthful songs before the dawn.

[From “The Song of the Happy Shepherd” by W.B. Yeats]

I could substitute the American flags, right across in the Veteran's section, for the daffodil and the lily, which were gently waving in the breeze.

So, for Memorial Day, I will substitute those words for Yeats':

I must be gone: there is a grave
Where Flags of America will wave,
And I would please the hapless faun,
Buried under the sleepy ground,
With mirthful songs before the dawn.
