Hugh Donovan - The Rose of No Man's Land

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 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"

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"
