 Boys, brave-eyed boys, with tender hearts and hands; 
 
 Boys, straight and tall, who laughed and loved and sang; 
 Who cheered and went away to war-torn lands. 
 
 Whose brave smiles strove to hide the parting pang; 
 They went to fight for mothers of the world, I 
 
 For children like the children whom they knew; | 
 
 They marched away, and now war's flags are furled, ? 
 
 And now their stars are gold which once were blue. | 
 
 They leaped into the air on pinions wide; 
 
 They marched through all of war's red hell and reek; 
 By night and day they combed the ocean wide, 
 
 They gave their strength to Freedom growing weak; 
 They died for us in lands remote and far; 
 
 They laughed and took the battle to the foe; 
 They gladly gave their lives in Freedom's war; 
 
 They went as far as human strength may go.

 I They went as far as human strength may go ! 
 
 T In Freedom's cause they might not be denied! 
 
 I On every field they stopped the charging foe, 
 
 I Waved on the flag they loved, and, waving, died! 
 
 I For them we smile, but yet our tears will start — 
 
 I What they fought for our hands and hearts shall hold! 
 
 j Their stars are graven on the Nation's heart; 
 
 I Their stars which once were blue but now are gold.
