MoTHER r

Dear mother, when read each tender phrase
Each throbbng line Of love you write to me,
My heart grows sad, and oft count the days
Until at last l shall sail DER the sea
Back, back to you and home and all love.
And cursed the fate that placed me here
But lol l caught a vision from above
That steeed my heart with patience, mother DEAR
Before my thought were dark with fanced wrongs,
OF plans miscarried and Of work undone,
l heard faint echos Of the old home songs,
And glimpsed your loving faces one by
/ knew your troubles-that could not ease
suffered at the worry in your heart,
longed to rest my head upon your knees,
And feel my bitter loneliness depart.
To me the had brought out bitterness;
Brought dscipline-that cut to the raw.
And acts unjust that promised no redress, !,
Beneath the changeless military law,
All through the days heard the homing call;
saw your pleading eyes and heard your voice.
/ prayed to come, prayed to cheer you ALL
And in reunion let hearts rejoice
All useless seemed the changeless game played,
OF endless, unremiting drill,
1t seemed twould be far better had l stayed
At home with you, whe love and need me still.
And then caught vision from the skies
OF why we fight and suffer and are sad
the reason for sacrifice,
And seeing To- my heart grew strong and glad;
That was in the ranks to fight and die
If need be for the millions yet unborn!
l saw the Belgian they lie!
The spois of Hunish lust undone and torn!
Their children lifting mutilated arms,
And babies caught upon the bayonet;
Their aged moters shaving upon the farms,
To feed the German hordes unconquered yet!
saw the helpless sinking in the waves,
While German sailors laughed to them die;
l saw row of new-made baby graves
And distant aircraft sinking in the sky;
the towns of desolated France,
The fruiting trees destroyed in senseless hate!
OH Mother these saw as in a trance,
And others that my lips dare not relate
Oh! Think if we had lived in Belgium then!
If France had been our home! Oh! God on high,
To picture you the toy Of british men,
Our homes destroyed my loved left to die!
see, at last the reason why
We must forget the little things of life.
And dry tears and stifle every cry
Whatever pain may issue from the strife!
Why must battle ON, with neer a thought
But victory, nor stop to count the cost,
Until sweeter liberty is wrought
From out the old, which was so nearly lost!
My mother, cheer your heart and dry your tears.
For after while. God willing, I'll return
We sacrifice today that, through the years,
We may enjoy the peace for which we yearn
Forget all things, forget all minor cares;
Today we labor. tomorrow we rest!
We fight for every mother she sings
Her babe to sleep upon her throbbng breast!
We battle for the womanhood of earth 1a
For Liberty, for Honor and for right
Be proud. Oh mother dear. that you gave birth,
To one who lived to enter such fght
