And I was living for your baby smile For you were ever all the world to me.

And now you are no longer by my side

And oh! I miss you more than words can tell, But I have sent you forth, in joy and pride, To guard that England which I love so well.

For l have lived, and loved, for many years

In that clear land of mine across the sea,

And now they call for help, in blood and tears, I send them you, a living part of me.

So all alone, each night | kneel in prayer And pray to God that I may live to see

New joy and peace to people over there, And you, my son, safe home again with me.
