OF INTEREST IN THE
REALM
A LITTLE GOOD-BY TO HIS
SWEETHEART
A little good-by to his sweetheart,
A kiss on his mother’s lips—
A tear and a fond caressing,
And away to the war he trips;
Good-by to the National Guardsman,
And a brave heart his, the while—
A little good-by to his sweetheart,
A wave of his hand, and a smile!
Ah, the sorrowfnl waiting of women,
And the watching and praying again,
And the wonder of war’s red revel,
And the coming and going of men!
A sword and a gun and a blanket,
A heart for the word of the fray—
A little good-by to his sweetheart,
And a soldier is going away!
Today in the shadow of beauty,
Tomorrow the thunder of strife—
A soldier’s good-by to his wife:
The khaki’s so bonny he’s wearing
And he’ll soon be in camp with the
rest—
A little good-by to his sweetheart,
And a dream of her down in his
breast!
Little homes in the city and country,
So altered and quiet and queer,
Since he answered the call of his coun
try,
The son and the husband so dear;
The trumpets are blowing,
A little good-by to his sweetheart,
And a kiss to his mother, with love!
—The Bentztown Bard.
The Standing Army
Of The Soul
“Genius is talent set on fire by
the courage. Fidelity is simply
daring to be true in small things
as well as great. As many as
are tne conflicts and perils and
hardships of life, so many are the
uses and forms of courage, It is
necessary, indeed, as the protec-
Jtor and defender of all the other
virtues. Courage is the standing
army of the soul which keeps it
from conquest, pillage, and sla
very.”
—Henry Van Dyke.
