But Mexico seems distant,
And the light fades from the skies.
When soldiers looking farewell
Into his sweetheart's dewy eyes!
The bugle clear is calling
TIC young hearts that answer "Herel"
And they greet the Fighting Eagle
With a ringing, rousing cheer.
TELL the boys Well soon be with them
Down in wartorn Mexico!
Folks, don't keep us waiting,
Here's the train now! Let us go!"
Then the vision of the battle,
And the dreams of wars alarms,
Are banished by the clinging
OF little baby's arms.
And if the heat of battle,
When man feels most alone,
Who knows but still he's guarded
By the loved ones left at home?
Prayers of girl and mother
May yet keep him from wars harms
And his soul may still be shielded
BY baby's clinging arms.
