AN ODE TO OUR BOYS

The liars said, we were selfish and cold,
Tnat our purpose was pelf and power
and gold,
our ideals shatter'd our ambitions vain.
Our love Of country strangled and slain
That never would we arise and stay
The hand Of the war lord, nor say him
nay
On his tnurderous march Of rapine and
But sit snUgiy BY and see freedom go
under.
From over there midst the battles din,
Where men are fighting that right may
win
Where stalks the spectre of hunger and
Ana babies die at their mothers breast
Where little children are manned and
And the protests and tears Of virtue are
They called to us from across the sea-
Dear God! what viii Americas answer
You heard their cry your answer rang
We viii follow our flag or Red, White and
Blue,
We are coming brothers. sou have waited
BY the Cod Of our fathers, we are com
ing strong,
And never, never was music more sweet
Than the mighty sound Of your marching
When YOU arose in your might and an
awered the lie
That Americas men we're afraid to die.
We send you greetings would cheer you
We know you viii fight 'tu victory is
won
