VERSE 01: I’ve seen some beautiful flowers,/Grow in life’s garden fair,/I’ve spent some wonderful hours,/Lost in their fragrance rare/But I have found another,/Wondrous beyond compare. CHORUS: There’s a rose that grows on “No Man’s Land”/And it’s wonderful to see,/Though it’s sprayed with tears, it will live for years,/In my garden of memory./It’s the one red rose the soldier knows,/It’s the work of the Master’s hand/’Mid the war’s great curse stands the Red Cross Nurse,/She’s the rose of “No Man’s Land.” VERSE 02: Out of the heavenly splendor,/Down to the trail of woe,/God in his mercy has sent her,/Cheering the world below/We call her “Rose of Heaven,”/We’ve learned to love her so. VERSE: J’ai un bien des fleurs s’empourprer,/Au jardin de la vie,/Et souvent jaime a monivrer,/De leur senteur benie,/J’en sais une au pureclat,/Sans rival ici bas. CHORUS: La rose fleurit sous les Boulets,/En avant du front elle est,/De pleurs arrosee,/Pour bien des annees,/Dans nos coeurs elle restera./La rose rouge amour du soldat,/Dans cette enciente ou rien ne bouge,/L’ombre qui parait,/Portant la Croix Rouge,/C’est la Rose des Boulets./La ro-lets | |
