the green banner

the names recall those who survived
a dove arises from the flames
it speaks of love and hope revived

justice is everywhere derived
without indulgence in old games
the names recall those who survived

once many here had grown and thrived
who now are mired within their shames
it speaks of love and hope revived

they have all journeyed and arrived
in concordance with well-known aims
the names recall those who survived

of nothing are they now deprived
but still they have set forth their claims
it speaks of love and hope revived

in pain and joy have they contrived
to fit all things into these frames
the names recall those who survived
it speaks of love and hope revived
