The War Son

(To c. A. NJ
elizabeth Curtis Holman.)
His mother died when he was three.
He had no father worth the name,
And SO a careless world and he
Had fought it out. He won the day.
Hard work, hard knocks and little play,
This was his school; and this his
fame
He kept a gentle heart and free
Beneath the burden of the way.
1 had no kinship with the field
Where valor is the shining seed.
And honor is the golden yield.
When to my eager hand, by lot, !.
Fell from the wars great melting pot
This orphan lad, whose Country S
need
His instant fate had swiftly sealed;
The summons heard, the rest forgot.
Now he has gone beyond the seas,
And yet this unit Of the host
BY triple ties seems bound to me.
His scarce-remembered mother /.
Come back. beneath his native sky,
To rock him, like gentle ghost,
Upon whose tides of memory
Where happy voices never die.
He binds the wound that must hide
And answers to the name of one
Who walks no longer by my side.
Yet strongest of the triple tie
Is death, that both of us would die
To keep high-foating in the sun
Our flag of freedom. This, beside,
Rings in our hail of "Mother"-"Son.'
