The meadow daisies bending in the breeze
Remind me of a day just past
I strolled along my path with ease
With him, right by my side, a love to last
He was my life, my love my all, and then,
The country he loved had sent him to fight
He left me weeping there in my lonely den
Sitting by the firelight waiting to reunite
Two men in suits came to my door
They told of valor and courage of heart
My love is gone; he is no more
I fall in anguish, pierced through with love’s dart
Sweet memories surround me through the night
They give me strength to face the morning light.
