Postcard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, with a poem about the burial below. NOVEMBER 11, 1922 To-day -- we laid our boy to rest; He sleeps in honor with the best In Arlington, where heroes come With silence -- to their final tomb. We gave him medals, tears, and flowers, To shew the world, that he was ours Kin, flesh and blood -- and sinew too; MY COUNTRY -- hush he died for you. With eye of faith, we pierce the gloom And scale the heights, beyond the tomb; The Better Land, Our Saviour's home; Our boy is safe, his NAME IS KNOWN. |
