OUR BOYS ARE COMING HOME.

DUB BOYS ARE COMING HOME.
Thank God, the day is clearing,
The clouds are hurrying past;
Thank God, the day is nearing,
The dawn Is coming fast.
And when glad herald voices
Shall tell us peace has come.
This thought shall most rejoice US:
Our boys are coming homei'
Soon shall the voice of singing
Drown wars tremendous din;
Soon shall the joy-bells' ringing
Bring peace and freedom In
The jubilee bonfires burning,
Shall soon light up the dome.
And soon, to soothe our yearnlng,
The boys are coming home
The vacant fireside places
Have waited for them long;
The love-light lacks their faces,
The chorus waits their song;
4 shadowy fear has haunted
The long deserted room;
But now our prayers are granted,
Our boys are coming home
0 mother, calmly waiting
For that beloved son
o sister, proudly dating
The victories he has won
0 maiden, softly humming
The love song while you roam
Joy, joy. the boys are coming
Our boys are coming home!
And yet-oh, keenest sorrow
They're coming, but not all
Full many a heart tomorrow
Shall wear Its sable pail
For thousands who are sleeping
Beneath the empurpled loam
Woei woe for those we're weeping,
Who never will come home
o, sad heart, hush thy grieying
Wait but little while
With hoping and believing
Thy woe and fear beguile.
Wait for the joyous meeting
Beyond the starry dome,
For there our boys are waitirg
To bid US welcome home.
