Thread Name: Help: WWI song about nurse at the front
Subject: RE: Help: WW1 song about nurse at the front
THE ROSE OF NO MAN'S LAND is in the DT, but the second verse isn't given.

2. Out of the heavenly splendor,
Down to the trial 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.

The first of the editions linked to above is also at the Historic American Sheet Music site (CLICK HERE), which is in better condition and the images (enlargeable) clearer.

Recording (the artist's name not given) is on the Popular Songs, 1918 page at The Virtual Gramophon.

The margin at the top of page 2 is clipped from the second Levy sheet, where the words "Dedicated to the American Red Cross Nurse" are written (See David A. Jansen, ed., A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody and Other Favorite Song Hits, 1918-1919 (Dover, 1997, pp. 114-115).
