Lyrics
- 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 its wonderful to see
Tho’ its spray’d 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 hand
‘Mid war’s great curse
Stands the Red cross Nurse
She’s the Rose of No Man’s land
- 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 learn’d to love her so
