Never a Night Before
Away From Home
The whole town was gathered
on the platform that morning to
see the train pull out men and
women and children, waving and
cheering and trying hard to keep
on smiling through their tears.
Out of the car windows leaned
the boys to wave a last good-bye.
Just average clear-eyed coun­
try town boys; twenty of them
altogether. And seventeen of
them had never slept a night
away from home before.
They are dwelling in a strange
land tonight, whose language
they .cannot understand.
But across the mud and the
snow a light gleams warm from
a hut on the edge of the town,
and inside good cheer and happi­
ness are ready for whoever will
come in to claim them.
Friendship dwells in the hut;
keeps its warm fires burning
bright this winter. Let it be
perfectly clear to the men over
there that you have not forgot­
ten.
To the men that only a little
while ago were boys who had
never slept a night away from
home.
