WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME
Reading edition
Bright smiles and many tear drops Are begging loved ones stay; For not all soldier boys come home When bugles call today. Brave lassies wait, toiling, hoping, And keep the hearth brushed clean, The home fires glowing brightly With all about serene. The heart grows weary often, For hours and days are long. But when the fight is over The land will ring with song. With all the maidens singing The full and happy notes, While men go shouting, marching, At sight of khaki coats. And Main Street pushing, crowding, Will be a surging stream, For when this war is over Our joy will be supreme.
