GOD GUARD YOU.
Oh, little head which used to rest
So snug and warm upon my breast,
Tonight you are, by war’s stern
chance,
Pillowed afar, somewhere in France.
Oh, little boy, who used to be
By night and day so dose to me,
Those tiny feet for me a-dance ,
Are marching now, somewhere in
* France.
There is nothing left me but prayer
So often whispered in your ear,
I breathe it now and hope perchance,
’Twill answered be, somewhere in
France.
