SONLESS.
. ' •.; ." ------- My 'boy,. with eager heart, Undaunted for the fray. Yon would have played: your part For England's cause to-day. I, whom you cost so dear, Would buckle on yonr sword, Send you. without one fear,. To battle for the Lord. - Woe, I have riamrht to jive - Save work and prayers and tears. God, -how do mothers live Throughout the ravening years? Swoop down with covering wings, Blot out the hell:we see, -. Swift end these, sufferings,--Sonless, I cry to Thee!
