Serving the cause Of liberty,
Dear Lord, is my brave son.
/ know not how he fares tonight,
But keep him ever in Thy sight,
For I have but the one!
Thou gavest two to bless my life,
But one fell early in the strife
My frst-begotten son!
He with his comrades marched away,
And then a message came one day
Dear Lord, have but one!
Then, while so sorrowed and bereft,
When only he to me was left,
could not say him nay,
Who urged that duty babe him go
His country called, he said, and so
How could | bid him stay?
But, o dear Lord, it's hard to bear,
With not another child to share
The hearth when day is done!
/ L can but kneel to Thee and pray:
Be with him through the hellish fray
And keep Thou safe my son!
1 know the cause is good and true
/ know that suffering must ensue
Before the fight is won.
Yetfbear with me, o Lord, this night,
Be9Thou my solace in my plight
And guard my only son!
Reuben Goldsmith.
