Decoration Day: Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest On this Field of the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more molest, Nor sentry's shot alarms!
Ye have slept on the ground before, And started to your feet
At the cannon's sudden roar, Or the drum's redoubling beat.
But in this camp of Death No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath, No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace, Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease, It is the Truce of God!
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep! The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green We deck with fragrant flowers
Yours has the suffering been, The memory shall be ours.

In the 1870s Frederick Law Olmsted was in the midst of designing a green space above the Hudson River on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Riverside Park. Over 60 years later, Robert Moses covered the railroad tracks, built the Rotunda, extended the park to the waterfront, and developed its recreation areas. Expansion south of 72nd Street began in the 1990s. Today Riverside Park is more than 330 acres of parkland from 59th to 155th Street, about 5 miles.
