A Soldiers Farewell.
Long may it wave, red, white and
blue;
Farewell sweetheart, said soldier
true.
Stars and stripes are sure to wave,
For our country we must save.
Soon from you I'll go to fight
For our freedom and for right.
And when the battle we have won,
Perhaps with scars to you I'll come.
For freedom l take my life in hand
And serve my country like man.
The promise you gave mo to be true,
Stronger may keep my love for you.
Tho long you wait my safe return
True in faith, I'll constant yearn.
And if we live till fighting's done
Two hearts that beat will be as one.
"Silver threads among the gold"
Crowns the brow of father old.
Happy brother and sister we
And mother true as true can be;
AS oft the echo of her voice is heard,
In memory l keep her last sweet
word
"Son, trust in God, az day by day
For you I'll never cease to pray"
l promised mother l would try
While she Yves near to say goodbye.
There's no other way but this
Sealed solemn promise with a kiss.
When soldiers cross the ocean wide,
With dashing waves on either side,
Angry pillows round us roar;
Far away the distant shore
IT'S then our thoughts so true will
roam
To the loved ones left at home.
In the trenches soon wo'll fight
For our country and tho right.
There we'll stand and face the
huns
Fear neither cannons nor the guns.
And Old Glory we'll defend
Till for Prussia there's an end.
Do all you can, work every day,
For the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A.
Buy bonds and war stamps, all you
can;
Help to victory our noble men.
Est cornbread instead of wheat,
Be no Stacker nor a cheat
Trusting in God for the war to
cease y
With the nations free and the world
at peace.
He'd never send his children to fight
