♦ GOOB-BYE SWEETHEART *
(June, 1916.)
Bick with your shields, 0 khaki lads
0 laddies urave and true;
You’ll find the "girls you left behind”
Still waiting there for you.
Upon the far-flung cactus plain
The Stars and Stripes unbind,
And let the Eagle of the North
Scream down the Mexic wind.
■Wake up the echoes of the south
With “Georgia’s fair naipe;”
She puts into your strong. young
hands j
The record of her fame?
I
And sends you forth to keep un
dimmed |
Amid the clouds of war
Her symbol on your banner bright—
Her white and steadfast staA
We’ll watch for you beside the trails,
Where Glory keeps her score;
O khaki lads, our hearts would break
If you came back no more!
Would break except we’d know the
few
Left ’neath the Aztec skies
Had shown the whole, wide martial
woi Id
The way a hero dies.
But you’ll come back, O khaki lads.
And bring your shining shields,
And tell the girls how ’twas you
fought i
And won on glory’s fields!
