And gone to play his part
On life's grim battlefield, and l
Am lone and sad of heart.

And Dad" said, Goodbye, sonw
And then the boy with head erect,
Went forth-his work begun.
And over In the corner there
Dads" eyes will fall upon

And miss the boy that's gone.
The biggest Boy" gulped back n sob
When on his lips was pressed
The little mothers goodbye kiss.
When mothers hands caressed
And then he smiled and went his way
To fight and win, or die;
While Dad" and mother could but
say,
GOD bless you, son; goodbye,"

That seeks by arts of toll and peace
To upbuild this fair land.
And dad" and mother fondly hope
As only parents can.

And do it like a man.
