The Rose Of No Man's Land 1918

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.

There's a rose that grows
in 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.

There's a rose that grows
in 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.

Out of the heavenly splendour
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.

There's a rose that grows
in 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.

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.
