Away to a foreign country lu tho -midst ot a foreign toe- . Where each moment is fraught with danger . Our darlings were asked to go.

And today we would do them homage, Our brave lads over there, The boys in blue we would honor, too, w ho are nobly doing their share. Incased in the great world struggle, As tho weeks aud months untold God grant that these stars remain the same That none shall be changed to gold. And when the war shall have ended, Tho suffering and agony past May each lad in blue and khaki, too, Come back to his own at last.
