Welcome is hardly the word to say
To those of our own who have been away
Those whom we Graded thru joys and fears
Guided thru boyhood,s hayward years,

Of those who thought they should volunteer
Now they are home with the Croix de Guerre
Won thru their bravery lover there"
Home with record we'd gladly share,

Thank God, thank God they're home again."

WELCOME TO OUR SOLDIERS

BY HENRY POLK LowENsTEIN
\ On sunny days, in lilac time,
When earth is green and skies are blue,
When church bells ring their sweetest chime,
And blood runs high and hearts beat true,
Brave soldiers ALL we welcome you!
Back home again! What magic words!
Dear mothers love and sweetheart true,
And little hands, and songs of birds,
And apple blossoms peeping thru
Brave soldiers all, we welcome you!
God of Fate! Those left behind
In Flanders Fields and Argonne Wood,
And Chateau-Therry, too; the blind,
The lame Chose stepped in richest blood;
Lo Let us not forget this day!
Let's bare our heads and kneel and pray!
