THE LAD HAS GONE TO THE
col OPS

THE LAD HAS GONE TO THE
COLORS.
The Lad has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Lad we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him child, baby,
With never q care at all;
But his country called him, man-sizc
And the Lad has heard the call.
The Lad has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy navy
In the truly martial style.
But now he's a man, a soldier
And we lend him a listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse Of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His mother-God bless her-cried;
Yet, blest with mother-nature,
She wept with a mother-pride.
But he whose shoulders Strengthened
Was Grandad-for memory ran
To years when he, too. a youngster
Was changed by the Flag to man!
