He takes with him the light of May;
Alasi II seems but yesterday
He was a brighthair child at play,
with eyes that knew no fear;
Blue eyes-true eyesi 1 see them shine
Far down, along the waving line
Now meet them bravely, eyes of minei
Good cheer, my love, good cheeri
Oh, mother hearts, that dare not breaki
That feel the stress, the long, long ache,
The tears that burn. the eyes that wake,

And ye--true hearts--not called to bear
such pain and peril, for your share
oh. lift with me the pleading prayer,
God save our gallant sonsl
