Lyrics
1. Just at dawn his comrades found him
In No Man’s Land so cold and grey
When they saw the rose he’d cherished
Their thoughts went back to home that day
Refrain
Only a rose so worn and faded
Tenderly held in someone’s hand
Just a mem’ry of his darling
Only a rose in No Man’s Land
2. Oft’ she wanders ‘mid the roses
Tenderly kissed by Summer’s rain
Still in fancy he is with her
Telling her love’s sweet tale again
Performance
