November in Ireland "For all the Holy Souls we pray, November days in Ireland God give them peace and light The skies are dull and grey, For the brave boys that died for us, But Oh! The clear strong flame of love, We pray both day and night. That burns by night and day. We can feel their presence near us-we can hear their voices call, As swift and bright the whispered prayers fly to the Heavens overhead, For the dead folk in Ireland are the 'livest' of us all" From faithful hearts in Ireland, remembering their dead. November days in Ireland No primroses or cowslips now, Are just one round of prayer, But cold November rain, Of loving help, and sacrifice, No hawthorns in the hedges, For those who claim our care. Till Spring comes round again, And Oh! Look up with hope to Heaven: the starry, shining dome, But roses bloom in chapels lone and cabins far apart Is vibrant with the beating wings of glad souls going home. Dear rosaries of remembrance said to Mary's loving heart. by Alice Guerin Crist
