'Oh, say if I must!'</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I smiled on the boy, though my heart it seemed breaking,<br>My eyes filled with tears, so I turned them away,<br>And answered him, 'Willie, 'tis well you are waking -<br>Go, act as your father would bid you, today!'</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I sit in the window, and see the flags flying,<br>And drearily list to the roll of the drum,<br>And smother the pain in my heart that is lying<br>And bid all the fears in my bosom be dumb.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I shall sit in the window when summer is lying<br>Out over the fields, and the honey-bee's hum<br>Lulls the rose at the porch from her tremulous sighing,<br>And watch for the face of my darling to come.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And if he should fall -his young life he has given<br>For freedom's sweet sake; and for me, I will pray<br>Once more with my Harry and Robby in Heaven<br>To meet the dear boy who enlisted today.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Anonymous+Americas">Anonymous Americas</a><div class=q>
