!lr Sother, hen I read each tender phrase,
Vach throbbinp line of live you writ ttTme,
tMj Vlft grows sad, and oft I count the daya
Until t Ust 1 shall sail o'er thfe sea
' 9tack, back to ytfu and home iu.il ijl I love?
And onci I cursed the fate that placed me here. '
Bui, lo! I caught a vision frdVn above ,
That gteeled my'heart with patience, mother dear;
Utfore my thoughts were dark with fancied wrongs,
Of plans mittcarried and of work undone.
1 heard faint echoes of the old home songs
And glimpsed your loving faces, one by one.
I knew your troubles tha6 I could not ease -
M suffered at the Worry in your heart,
I longed to rest my head upon your knees
And feel my bitter loneliness-depart.
To me the war had brought out bitterness;
Brought discipline that cut me to the raw
And acts unjust that promised no redress i! ...
iHeneath the changeleas military law.
All through the days i heard the homing-call;
I saw your pleading eyes and heard your voice
I prayed to come, J prayed to cheer you all
And in reunion let our hearts rejoice.
All useless seemed the changeless- game we played
Of endless labor, unremitting drill.
It seemed 'twould be far better had I stayed
At home with you, who lovo and need mc still.
And then 1 caught a vision from the skies
Of why we fight and suffer and are sad!
I saw the reason for our sacrifice,
And, seeing, lo! my heart grew strong and glad
That I vas in the ranks to fight and die,
If need be, for the millions yet unborn!
I saw the Belgian women as they lie,
The spoils of Hunnish lust, undone and tornl
Their children lifting mutilated arms
And babies caught upon the bayonet;
Their aged mothers, slaving on the farms
To feed the German hordes uncommered yet!
I saw the helpless sinking in the waves.
While German saiiors laughed to see them die;
I saw a row of new-made baby graves
And distant aircraft slinking in the sky;
I saw the towns of desolated France,
The fruiting trees destroyed in senseless fate!
Oh, mother, these I 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 Hi'glj,
To picture You the toy of brutish men.
Our home destroyed, my loved ones left to die!
I gee I see at last the reason why
We must forget the little things of life
And dry our tears and stifle every crv, - J
Whatever pain may issue from the strife!
Why we must battle on, with ne'er a thought
But Victory, nor stop to count the co-st,
Until n sweeter Liberty is wrought
From out of the old, which was so nearly lost!
My mother, cheer your heart and dry your tears.
For after while, God willing, I'll return
, Wo sacrifice today that, through the years.
We may enjoy the peace f((r which we yearn.
Forget all cares, forget all minor things; 1
Today we labor and tomorrow rest!
Wo fight for every mother as she sings
Her babe to sleep upan her throbbing breast!
Wo battle fot the Womanhood of Farth,
For Liberty, for Honor and for Might!
He proud, oh Mother dear, that you gave birth
To one who lived to enter such n fight.
