MADE A MAN.
My lad went wild -• and careless like And laughing to the, war, But in his look there's 'something now I never knew before.
Your ladi-has folt his <aoul leap up, One 'with his nation's 'strife; He's looked Death level in the eyes And learnt tho worth of life. ■
I used to fear his love ■ was light And ; just' a passing Svhim; Hut, somehow, now he's back with ino I know I'm safe with him.
He' learnt' the worth of quiet lpve . Out where the %rce blood- ran; Your lad wtis-but a Itid, my- lass, He's come back made a mail. ; — Harberton Lulharn
