away; back of her eyes, are the tears,
words. yet unsaid; down in her heart
are fond hopes, now dead. He an

| fleet passing years, since her tow
| headed boy; she held in her arms,
with love, pride and joy; now in young
manhood he hears dutys call; now in
the strength of youth, justice rules all;
| fired with true purpose, she would not
recall; home who goes for the love
! of his country. Her vision at last,
can discern him no more; she turns
with an anguish of soul from her
door; hers are the heartaches, only
mothers can know; hers are the tears

for her lad, who has gone for his

And now
| Alone on the threshold. that mother
| in gray; sees a figure in khaki march,
| ing her way; back of her eyes are the
| tears yet unshed back of firm lips
are words yet unsaid in her heart is
| pride. for her boy, never dead. For
he answered the call of his country.
