SONLESS.
My boy, with eager heart, Undaunted for the fray, You would have played your part For England's cause to-day ! I, whpm you cost so dear, Would buckle on your sword, Send you, without ono fear, I To battle for the Lord ! i Woe, I have naught to, give j Save work and prayers and tears ! I God, how do mothers live Throughout the ravening years? • J Swoop down with covering wings, v Blot but the hell we see, Swift end theso sufferings, Sonless I cry to Thee ! — Annie S. Swan.
