My boy born in the pride of love's sweet thoughts; My boy bred in the love of purest hearts. Long have most glorious hopes been mine, But now,. America, he is all thine! My Heart is trembling lest thou f should take him now! i I bore him and I kissed his infant brow And nourished him to give him strength to walk; And taupht his baby lips to lisp and talk; Canst thou not wait? he seems as such a child How can he fight his manners are so mild? I trained his hands to do no one an ill Thinkst thou that he can ever learn to kill? II. My boy he seems as but a tender youth America, I taught him God and .Truth; If thou must have, I give him all to theel He's brave I'm brave, and yet O woe is me That something in my breast still holds him fast; Ti3 Mother love a tie that's made to last! Tho thou wouldst take him far across the sea Thou canst not take this mother love from me; Thou has his manhood in its perfect flower My Boy your Man, will serve thee in this hour. Thou canst not know the anguish in my heart Though brave I am, I fear the hour to part. III. America, I give him up to thee! Flesh of my flesh heart of my heart is he. And he shall leave mine arms to be a Man To fight for thee and do the best he can. Deep in his eyes there is incipient fire, And in his heart ennobling thoughts inspire; And I, hi3 mother, understand them all IIe hears he heeds, and answers to thy call! So short a while upon my breast he lay; I rocked and crooned and sang the day away, But now he hears the luring of thy voice, And I, his mother, have no other choice Than give him up to thee with all my heart God grant that he may do a noble I surrender him, America, to thee My babe my boy thy Soldier Man to be!
