THE MOTHERS. We’ll wear no mourning for our dead, No craven grief shall shame our pride. At Honor’s call their blood was shed. U was in Fredom’s cause they died. Shall we proclaim onr grief aloud ? Begrudge the lives their country needs ? Our aching mother-hearts are proud To share the glory of their deeds. The lives we gave they give again, The full abundance of their years; I s then the sacrifice in vain That we should mock it with our tears? |Let her whose'sons at home abide When Honor calls, abase her head ; Our sons at Honor’s call have died, 1 We’ll wear no mourning for our dead. —F. B. MAURICE, in the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
